Natural Designs: Contemporary Organic Upcycling
Aurélie Drouet and Jérôme Blin
In this book Aurelie has collated 20 original DIY projects from internationally-renowned designers, and a few of her own, to create natural and durable furniture of your own. Since the beginning of time, nature has been a source of inspiration for designers: Natural Designs is part of this creative process and offers you the possibility to create furniture and everyday objects with raw materials from mineral to plant. Enjoy a walk in the woods, or beachcomb by sea to unleash your imagination and bring a little nature into your home. From cork hanging lights, a slate desk to a natural wool pouffe and a birch coat stand, discover simple and elegant ideas that you can make yourself. Easy to make and accessible to everyone. No need to be an experienced handyman to realize these original designs: this book presents 20 creations with step-by-step photos, plans and technical tips. For additional inspiration, Aurelie includes profiles of the contributing designers, and other leading designers from around the world.
