Why we love it: This fashionably chunky Bicicleta shag gives worn-out inner tubes a brand-new spin. The collection was born out of research into the possibility of using recycled rubber to create new textures. It is made out of 100% recycled bicycle inner tubes. The result was a new carpet collection made from recycled bicycle inner tubes, called Bicicleta.

Why we love it: In response to a client’s request for bespoke chairs to go around a table in the waiting area of their new showroom, Revived Furniture sourced eight completely different chairs and painted them in the same shade of pink to unify the contrasting design styles, creating a heterogenous but coherent collection.

Why we love it: OnStone images are printed directly onto salvaged discarded stone using a new generation UV-cured ink, framed with timber reclaimed from old fences and flooring. The result is a fine art quality image that is scratch resistant and has uninterrupted depth, with no reflection between image and viewer.

Why we love it: Inspired by Xavier Pauchard’s brilliantly functional and economic 1934 chair model, Wilson wished to update the design and soften it for internal usage. By adding a fitted vegetable-tan leather cover, which will ‘wear-in’ as used, Wilson highlights the chair’s ingenious method of production, whilst giving it a suitable indoor application.

Why we love it: The rag rug is made from old worn out Nudie Jeans denims. The jeans are cut down to serrated strips which are sewn together and then rolled up on spools. The strips are then woven together by hand on a manual shuttle loom. The weft is made from indigo dyed thread, the same that’s used for the Nudie Jeans denims.
