There are just few left! Redesign, refresh and extend the life of an unloved chair for the Cardiff Design Festival 08 – and then bring it along with you to the Grand Recycled Ballroom Party at the end of October.
They are lonely at our Llandaff Campus in Western Avenue, Cardiff at the moment, so are waiting there for you to take them back to their new home.
