Creative Recycling

While going through my regular blog routine this morning I ran across this cool article about an event last week at west elm celebrating the opening of its newest manhattan shop. They hosted a silent auction of one-of-a-kind furniture and objects created by david stark using recycled west elm packing materials. All of the proceeds went to the cooper hewitt and at the end of the night, david’s work was able to raise $8,000 for the museum. Since I love west elm and I love design I thought I'd share it with you.



I would have loved to see these in person.

I like the cactus sculptures. Those would be fun on a covered patio or terrace out of the elements.
