Product Description
Product Description
"Eco Deco" blends the recycling ethic with a stylish perspective. An inspiring book, it will encourage you to take a stroll around life's back door and examine the everyday junk and waste that we trash, bury and burn every day. Use it to design new objects and work with waste materials that started out life as something quite different. "Eco Deco" traces the origins of using recycled materials in interiors. It is certainly not a new phenomenon, but is now gaining more followers as society becomes more ecologically aware. The materials that lend themselves to reuse are often abundant and inexpensive to acquire, such as driftwood, chipped china and old clothes. Each chapter discusses how to harvest your materials and prepare them for reuse and explores the design potential of card and paper, fabric, wood, ceramics and glass, and plastic and metal. With beautiful photography, "Eco Deco" urges you to look again at what you throw out and instils a creative impulse that will inspire you to take a fresh look at home decoration.
