When asked about her process of furniture making and specifically her use of Formica, Lucy replied "It’s vibrant, it’s durable, it’s heat and scratch-resistant, colourfast and hygienic, and the range of colours, textures and woodgrains is vast. It truly is a beautiful product. It is made from layers of compressed paper with a thermosetting resin coating, and although the product is not recyclable itself, it is sustainable in that it lasts a lifetime. So my ethos is: buy my pieces for life, as they will stay looking fresh forever. Buy once and it will be a functional piece of art for the home. I have customers who return for more and more – they not only see them as collectors’ items, but also appreciate the quality and longevity of the pieces."

Good condition.
