This is a few years old now, but I just found it last night, and thought it was clever and attractive in an eclectic way. The two-woman team of wis design shop flea markets for old, abandoned, and out-of-style drawers, then build custom melamine chests to fit them in a project they call Decades.






More of their modern funiture here, with a project similar to Decades being Collect, but with newly created drawers.

Very slick. I like how they use the melamine to produce that white space to show off the detail of the various drawers. Concept similar to patch quilting where the patterns will all be different and blend, even though no two patterns are the same. Great find and thanks for sharing.

I really like this.
It’s something I need to think about, he says with a studio full of broken flea market furniture.
Another great idea fron the land of Ikea.
