Love it when creators give orphaned furniture a fresh look and do it so tastefully. Such is the case in these one of a kind pieces refurbished by Emma and Tobias Larsson in their Stockholm studio, 6ix Form. Would take that red, white and black table home in a heartbeat.

Been following Japanese shop, Fabrickaz, on and off for a few years because they had such a great collection of vintage feed sacks as well as vintage fabrics. They have taken some of those fabrics, added recycled rice bags and linen to create a fantastic line of handmade items. You can see much of it in their gallery and many more in their blog. So do browse when you get a chance.

UK artist Jennifer Collier treats paper as if cloth, employing stitching as the main technique In transforming them into these incredible works of art. She recycles and gives new life to things that otherwise would be thrown away. She says of her work:
“I enjoy the idea of working with disposable organic materials that are transient in nature, imbuing them with worth and creating something intriguing and of great beauty.”

First heard about this design house from one of my favorite UK daily read, Designers’ Block. Liked what I saw and I agree with blog author, Di Overton, that you really should take a look as well.

Great story behind these burlap bags and pouches designed by Ariane Dutzi:
“In 2009 she started the Dutzi workshop in Valladolid, Yucatan. It is a place where women meet, work together and learn the basic rules of entrepreneurship. It was important for Ariane Dutzi not only to give these women work, but to encourage and empower them. Each woman is paid per bag she makes. This way she can decide on her own how much money she wants to make. The designer didn't just want to create another bag, but wanted to give back to society. “
