Ever since we could remember we've always been looking for ways to re-use items that are to be thrown away. For us, every item has design potential specially if the material is quite good in terms of texture and durability. You can imagine how our work area looks like! But we like it! It's invigorating, flexing your creative muscles to good use. It also gives you some feeling of accomplishment in the sense that we've created something that can be useful again!
