That’s it folks! I hope you enjoyed this course as much as I did sharing my experience of kitchen designing with you. I loved the experience of working a furniture factory and I hope you do too. After this you will want to do a course in CAD if you’re serious about working in this field if you haven’t already done so.
By the way remember that for every tree we chop down to make furniture, two more must be planted. There are materials on the market today such as bamboo and hemp which make a lot more sense when it comes to the environment. Untill next time -Stay wise and strong!
