If there was any kind of furniture that embodied creativity, nostalgia and environmental friendliness, it’s Recreate’s line of creatively playful recycled furniture.
Katie Thompson is the creative force behind Recreate. She recently featured her recycled furniture line at the Design Indaba Expo in Cape Town, South Africa. From metal bath tub and four-legged, drum-looking seats with luxury grey material coverings to gas-bottled lamps, these recycled innovations are adorable to look at and are probably as much fun to experience. With pieces ranging from the Hat Box side table and Coca-Cola crate side table to the Fire Hydrant cupboard, Katie Thompson's collection mixes the old and the new in a slew of witty and spunky recycled designs.
