We respect when a product is made from recycled materials while also being elevated to a piece of art. This Birdseye Bed is a prime example of sustainability, functionality and wholly artistic in the finished presentation. While it is available as a center post model, we appreciate the clean lines and open space afforded by the suspended version. Made from reclaimed Birdseye maple culled from the floors of Southern Mills, the designer states, “I am more concerned with using recycled materials in different arrangements than standardizing each piece. It is those variables that make the furniture interesting.” We certainly agree that they hit the nail on the head with this piece.

Continuing on with reclaimed wood, these cabinets mix a bit of the old with the new. Sitting atop a new-made base, old cabinets are repurposed in new light. With dimensions of 42″ H x 34″ W x 20″ D, these eye-catching pieces offer a valuable storage space that tells an engaging story. Each piece is unique with its own story, color scheme and numbering.

Handmade in rural Pennsylvania, this table is perfect as an entry table or the “landing strip” for your household to keep keys, phones and pocket collectibles organized. And we guarantee it will also be a conversation piece with its construct of barn beam tabletop and a base made with two pieces of recycled steel hoops that are hand cut and bent into shape. Sanded smooth and covered with clear coating, durability and shine are included for free. (Dimensions: 36″h x 33″w x 11.5″d)
