re-v

recycled vw bench

re-v is a personal project I completed during my internship with C + D Industry

through working on it I learned about welding and fabrication.

the goal of this project was to transform a discarded 1960s VW beetle hood into something that once again had value whilst paying homage to its history and iconic design.
