the stanker collection - repurposed barrels
by rd @ 10:56 am post a comment »
Creative recycling meets neo-retro design in the Stanker Collection by Motxo Design, one designer’s reaction to a culture of relentless consuming and waste.
French designer, Francois Royer’s, part-time hobby has evolved into a full-blown expression of both the economy of re-use and the creation of functional art from industrial debris. Repurposed oil barrels and recycled materials provide the structural components of these expressions of utility and environmentalism. A perfect fit for the low-fi urban dweller with a taste for things both industrial and environmentally aware.
The hand crafted Stanker pieces are currently in small supply (Francois works as a teacher and is also a graphics artist and musician - busy guy).
A typical piece goes for 300 to 500 Euros ($400 to $650 U.S.) and shipping from France may be an adventure…though one well worth undertaking.
