Serious Upcycling

July 9, 2010 in Art,Furniture with 2 Comments

As tables go, I find this one an enigma. Is it modern? The lines are so clean and sharp. And the table top that seems modeled after a beautiful hardwood floor feels like an art piece.

But there’s something rustic about it, too. Something I can’t quite place my finger on.

Except I can because I have the Internet! Von Tundra‘s beautiful Rockwell table is unique in that it’s crafted from reclaimed and refurbished pallet wood (as are many of this Portland-based design house’s creations). Isn’t that cool? Recycling is awesome, especially when the end product turns out looking this good.

    Maybe you’ve coined a new term for not only re-using but making things better – upcycling!
