World Interiors Day
May 26 was World Interiors Day, an international day to recognise interior designers and architects globally. The event, held by the International Federation of Interior Architects and Designers involves events held globally by numerous interiors related organisations. With this year’s theme being “Finding the NEW in the OLD” there are sure to be many interesting events happening.
In the theme of this year’s World Interiors Day, we have picked out some pieces that combine both new and old. These products have been produced from recycled materials, turning old items into a completely new piece of furniture.
The Gordes Lorraine Coffee Table has been manufactured from hundred year old recycled wood that was sourced from old buildings in China. With its beginnings in China, this timber has been transformed into a French-inspired coffee table giving new life to timber that not only came from half way across the world, but was also used for a completely different application.
The Malaba Dining Table still retains its authentic appearance giving a glimpse into its previous life. This beautiful piece has been made from recycled ship wood; another example of the vastly different life timber can take when recycled. These pieces are both great examples of recycled materials and certainly show that new products can come from any number of past uses.
