One of the things that makes this ‘Odds and Ends, Bits and Pieces’ collection stand out is its excellent use of color. The subtle variations within the chosen shade create a watercolor effect. The weaving technique can be applied to a number of projects and needs not be limited to old blankets. The concept is eco-friendly because it uses recycled materials that are readily available as discards. The furniture framework is constructed of discarded wooden beams painted white. Old blankets were woven to make the functional surfaces.  Charles Jencks called it Adhocism: "the art of living and doing things ad hoc- using materials at hand, rather than waiting for the perfect moment or "proper" approach. As a principle of design, it begins with everyday improvisations, such as bottles for candle holders and tractor seats on wheels for dining chairs."
