Sorcha O’Brien is now a lecturer in Design History and Theory at Kingston, but back in 1995 she visited Kingston and participated in the Furniture and Product Design course from January to April as part of an ERASMUS exchange from the National College of Art and Design, Dublin. Classmates depicted here were Level 5 Furniture and Product Design students. Sights around Kingston and a visit to the Design Museum are also documented. Images with thanks to Sorcha O’Brien.
