before & after: bright designlab’s upcycled furniture
July 16, 2010 by admin · 10 Comments
our last b&a today comes from alissa and leela at portland based bright designlab, and i’m really glad they decided to send these upcycled designs our way. working together with professional re-modelers at hammer & hand, bright designlab creates upcycled furniture out of found industrial carbon and steel, disassembled barns, vintage locker baskets and old school bleachers. i love the unusual nature of these pieces, and the personality that all of the found materials bring to each piece. portland, oregon is known as a hub for green design, so it’s no surprise these pieces make great use of items otherwise destined for landfills. i can’t wait to see what else will come from this great collaboration. thanks ladies!

So fabulous, I love all the variations and the natural beauty of wood.
Saving the planet can be beautiful too!
i always like furniture made of reclaimed materials… they look so genuine… not to mention the good deed to the environment.
