According to our subject that is a Swing and a Lamp there are several ideas that we came up with during our discussion.

Taking the lamp to be our first design , We are making a lamp made out of beer bottles. Secondly to reduce the use of electricity we will use candles instead ,it will look more like a hanging lamp rather than a standing lamp so as to go with our second choice of furniture . About the colour usage, will not change the original colour of the beer bottles , it will be a combination of green and brown, a circular plant platesfor base will be used to support the bottles which will be glued to the beer bottles. and gold heavy chain used in order to hold the lamp .

we will also make a swing. basically the theme is greenery ,materials that we will try to use for making this swing will be as follows; the swing itself made out of a worn out rocking chair will chop of the extra wooden pieces to make it look more like a chair , ropes for hanging the swing , to be precise will use thick sisal preferably green in colour and tie around artificial green plants for decorations or series of light. to add we will make cushions for back rest made of out worn out clothes.

Here are some of the sketches and notes we made during our discussions:
