The idea was simple—supply 12 designers with timber from 12 demolished New York City buildings to create a piece of furniture. While the work presented by a juried group of Big Apple-based designers made for an impressive collection, there were four that resonated strongly for us.





Interesting projects with recycled 

RAINFOREST HARDWOODS – 

IPE (TABEBUIA), CUMARU (DIPTERYX ODORATA), GREENHEART (CHLOROCARDIUM)


local architects, designers and fine woodworkers display the range of reclaimed woods -
