UK Designer Jamie Ward rescues discarded and salvaged furniture found around his hometown of Manchester and revitalizes the pieces as one-off, iconic expressions of pop culture.  Combine one dinged-up old desk, scraps of movie posters, newsprint, concert announcements and other found materials – result – hybrid furniture that is functional, sustainable and kind of eco arty.

If inspired by this concept you could easily pursue your own DIY furniture creations.  Required – old stool, chair, table or similar, an eye for the eclectic, some basic tools and a modicum of good taste.
