Nightwood

This morning I'm being inspired by the ladies behind Brooklyn based furniture and textile design company Nightwood.

'...Our products are hand crafted by us so they are one of a kind due to the nature of production and materials used.  We locally source salvaged, antique, reclaimed and scrap woods when possible as well as some new for all our wood furniture.  We use organic and sustainable fabrics when possible as well as woven scraps in our textile-based products. In addition we use vintage refurbished frames for many of our signature reincarnated dressers, chairs and couches...'

I absolutely love that Ry Scruggs and Nadia Yaron are making a successful business out of re-using and reincarnating old things to make quirky, new ones! This is the art of sustainability in interior design at it's best, and at esdesign we're very familiar with the great sense of satisfaction this brings, as this company started it's life doing just that - upcycling old chairs... very inspiring!
