This interesting UK company specializes in salvaged materials and contemporary interior design (the latter using the former, though raw materials may be purchased as well). That may not sound particularly promising, or maybe it does if you’re into the rustic/industrial look, but leave your preconceptions at the door. Their work tends towards clean, classic modern, gorgeously executed. The list of salvaged materials is astounding: Carrera marble, fossil limestone, Morrocan tile, 2-inch thick teak (from lab benches!) – which can be seen repurposed as kitchen counters in their design project below. The last picture, the tiniest glimpse of the bathroom, is my favourite. I’m head over heels for the combination of those mosaic tiles with Josef Frank fabric. Wish we could see more.
Anyway, made me think: where do teak lab benches end up in Vancouver?
FYI, the only place I know of to buy Josef Frank fabrics in North America, if you’ve got the cash, is Just Scandinavian.
