Recycled and Upcycled exhibition in Chiswick

Visited one of my favourite shops today, The Old Cinema on 160 Chiswick High Road. It is a large place with loads of antique, really funky furniture. I want it all! Now and until Sunday 25th March they focus on not only recycled things, but UPcycled. Meaning upgrading and putting a modern edge to something old. Saw some lovely things, like Lucy Turners furniture. She laminates chests of drawers with mothern patterns. Looks really cool!


There was also a lot of furniture made of scrap metal, like old aeroplanes. Not sure I like it, but If you´re in to aeroplanes, I´m sure it´s fascinating. Here is an old emergency exit door that is now a mirror frame. Made by Stephen Burrows.
