When it comes to furniture, are you a contemporary or modern design fanatic? Perhaps you dig a traditional or Victorian look? If you can’t decide, why not embrace all types of influences at once? Designer Agnieszka Lasota has created ‘Furniture with Memory’ by encasing pieces of old furniture within newly designed clear glass exteriors.
This amazing spin on old meets new uses see through tables to house the legs and/or tops of older tables. Photos have also placed inside some of the designs, providing even more memories. ‘Furniture With Memory’ gives the feel of a newly renovated museum with great artifacts inside on display.
Guess we shouldn’t be so quick to haul off Grandma’s old furniture to the Antique Roadshow after all.
