Kaleidoscope Table by Gemma Ellen Williams
I wanted my design to be fun and bright. Originally I was just going to decorate it with the theme of a kaleidoscope, however it seemed stupid not to incorporate an actual kaleidoscope into the design and make it interactive. I think that because it is a piece of furniture it should still be functional and for people to actually use rather than just look at it. I feel that the bright colours of the table reflect the childlike nature of kaleidoscopes and also my own personality.

I am a 22 year old Graphic Designer. I grew up in Swansea and am currently in my third and final year of a BA in Graphic Design at the University of Wales, Newport. I mainly design for print based outcomes and am very interested in working in a way which gets away from using the computer as the main tool for making images.
