A BASILDON schoolgirl has seen her winning sofa design come to life.

Gracee Denning, ten, took part in the competition run by ScS and was crowned the winner of the nationwide contest against 300 other children.

Her design was made into a real sofa and was delivered to her school, Noak Bridge Primary School, where it will become the centrepiece in the school’s library.

Gracee said: “My sofa looked so amazing and was so comfy.

“I am really proud to have won the competition and can’t believe how good my design looks in real life.

“My favourite bit is the art pillow, they matched my exact design and it looks so bright and colourful.

“I love it.”
