I’ve said it once, and I’ll say it again, the salvaged look of recycled objects is always a great addition to a space. It adds an authentic dimension. Here are a few more options to get this look.
The two tables below by OFICINA A LAPA are perfect examples of using bits of something old to make something used. Remnants of aged pieces of wood have been remodelled together to create wonderfully striking designs. The random images on some of the pieces add that little bit of extra interest. A different and unique addition such as these would create a strong central focus for any space.
The chair below by PO PARIS is an adaptation of Arne Jacobsen’s Egg Chair. It’s not as large as the original design but is equally extraordinary. Old bits of barrel steel have been fashioned to create the chair’s shape. The external barrel colour and flecks of old paint are what produce the antique feel, yet with the contemporary Egg Chair design it is the perfect blend of old vs. new.
Also by PO PARIS below is an old barrel that has been adapted to create an exceptional side table with extra storage space (something we all need). With a new coat of paint, it looks as good as new.
A piece like this will add not only the necessary requirement of a table and storage, but also an element of interest and fun.
With pieces like these, you will always have an amusing element of surprise in your home. It’s always best to keep a space light-hearted and young rather than worn out and dreary isn’t it?
