Just when I think I know a thing or two about repurposing, I’m forced
to revise my definition because of another MORE clever example. Case in point the chest-of-drawers featured
today.
These stellar must-haves are by incredibly quirky and creative British
duo of Hannah Plumb and James Russell a.k.a. James Plumb whose labor of love in
working with the discarded and overlooked has made them international young
design celebrities. And while their
“look” is more old-world-bohemian-glam than modern-tailored-chic, I cannot seem
to get these out of my head. They’re simply
marvelous!
The duo painstakingly selects antique and vintage suitcases that are
later repaired, cleaned and repurposed (each suitcase is relined in Swedish
linen) and fitted into individual, tailored-made, wood cases. Then the cases are set into a metal framework
for the finished product. Each chest is
unique and comes in different drawer stacks and widths.
For the right place, these are certainly worth dropping some coin. Bravo!
