Loughborough University - Flogging the furniture

An auction of noteworthy furniture made by students in the 1930s has raised more than £30,000 for a scholarship fund for undergraduates in creative design. More than 170 pieces of bedroom furniture, including wardrobes, desks and refectory tables, were sold from their former home in a hall of residence at Loughborough University. The university's creative scholarship fund supports students in art and design.
