Will O'Connor of newly launched Dotty Furniture (01-8434102/085-1726404 dottyfurniture.com) is overhauling old school desks by painting them in highly pigmented hues and his signature white spots.

The Portrane-based business normally sells these desks online for €199 each. Bargain Hunter readers who might like to study their form can buy them at a special introductory offer of €140 – 30% off.

He's also on the lookout for more school desks if anyone out there has any stock. This offer is available until Saturday.
