REpurposing

In line with our stance on waste reduction and recycling, we’ve discovered that added value can often be found by repurposing certain items.

​

In some cases, this would simply mean that particular parts of a finished piece have been replaced with an item or materials that would not originally been integral to the piece. A great example of this can be found with this restored rocking chair that was in a sorry state when it was collected and was missing the front and rear stretchers. I happened to have some pieces of old copper pipe knocking about in the workshop and these were perfect to be used as replacement parts; using these subsequently influenced the final colour palette of the finished item.

​

In other cases, repurposing involves taking an unused / discarded item and transforming it into something completely different with its own special value and alternative use.
