Upcycling
Why upcycle?
Apart from the obvious benefits to the environment - reducing landfill & saving new pollution being created - our main reason for upcycling is that we hate to see things going to waste.
Easy or hard?
Upcycling can be as difficult as you want to make it. Creating a lamp from an old bike wheel and gear cogs is significantly more challenging than making a fire pit out of an old washing machine drum. And the prices of our upcycled goods reflect that difficulty, but also the unique characteristics of the new item without the extortionate price tags you find in many of these "trendy" and "on message" establishments
Lateral thinking
It may be shabby, in pieces or outdated, but with some imagination (and thinking outside of the box), careful planning and effort, it's amazing what you can turn an item into - an old gas bottle can become a garden chimenea, an old chandelier turns into a pot rack - your imagination is the only limit.
