Recreate

Please note this event has been canceled until further notice.

At Recreate, discarded old suitcases take on a new life as comfy chairs. Each chair is custom-made with a steel-reinforced internal structure, complementary fabric and hand-crafted legs.

We have an existing range of ready-made chairs to choose from, or you can create your own unique design from our collection of found suitcases.  Alternatively you can bring us your old sentimental suitcases to be recreated into comfy functional artworks…

I have been busy, busy, busy with new products and new ideas and can hardly keep up with all the interest! (Thank you!)

From concept to design and finally production, here are a few products I have been working on this month…

If you can imagine one of these lights in your home, it could be yours!

Mannequin – light:

Her days of modelling and fitting for a high-end store had long passed,  she was found sad and forgotten buried amongst piles of old stock…this mannequin could soon be spotted lighting up your room and one must ask has her life only just begun?…

Birdcage chandelier:

This redundant bird cage stopped singing long ago, what was left to rust in damp and dust, will soon be grand in glistening splendour. ..

Turning the wire bird cage into a glamorous chandelier creates playful juxtapositions and can be seen as the next step from the already existing birdcage lights hanging over raw light bulbs.

Teacups…soon to be lamps:

That’s all for now under lighting…

Your feedback is much appreciated and I look forward to your comments.

Super exciting and busy times ahead…

Here are a few pics from the exhibition to keep you excited and up to date!
