Two students at Zayed University have won a design competition for a prototype model of a wooden piece of furniture.

Asma Naji and Alaa Mohammed worked closely with design professionals and contractors in a competition organized by Vision Furniture decoration Factory and the Furniture design class part of the Interior Design BFA at the College of Arts and Creative Enterprises.

They learned about construction methods and steps towards making a wood furniture piece and created detailed construction drawings.

The collaboration gave the students a sense of what is it like in the professional world of design in the UAE.
