Junk(tion)

These creations are a far cry from junk, personally I think they are pretty innovative pieces of furniture. It's the kind of quirky thing that you would like in your house as a focal point and it's practical for once. The project is all about taking objects that have been classed as junk by anyone and everyone and reinventing them either by adding other things to them or taking bits away and teaming them with others. Using the vision that 'we already have to much in the world' brings a new perspective to every piece of furniture that we class as junk rubbish or trash. We already know one persons rubbish is another persons treasure. You can look at the general idea and see how it has developed over the years from car boots to eBay to Gumtree to antique and vintage shops popping up everywhere. Below are some of my favourites I selected from the site, simple ideas that could be re-created in your own home. I particularly like the table football hangers and the bike stool. That bike stool would be fabulous in a little cafe/bar, at home next to your telephone table or a novel piece for a bike store - fantastic.
