Furniture designer scoops award for school chair at Undergraduate Awards ceremony
With children sitting for nearly two years of their lives by the time they finish primary school, Katharine Griffith set out to design and make a chair and desk that encouraged natural posture.
The research for her furniture design and manufacture degree at Galway-Mayo Institute of Technology’s Letterfrack college earned her the national prize in the engineering and mechanical sciences category of the 2013 Undergraduate Awards.
