Ah, those nostalgic memories of stanky jock straps, muddy tube socks and the frightening prospect of tussling with the parallel bars…I digress. Designer Wes Bennett has an eye for upcycling. He built the ‘Repurposed 36″ Rolling Vintage Storage’ unit from a re-finished athletic locker.

Bennett has created a bunch of furniture from reclaimed and salvaged lockers. Each hand-crafted piece is cleaned, stripped of old paint, and modified for its new purpose. In the case of the storage bureau pictured above, heavy duty casters and stylish hardware were added to the piece. Wes can customize the units into different configurations for featuring electronics, TV’s and vertical storage.

A great way to add a little industrial flair to your loft, or sports-addicted offspring’s bedroom.
