Upcycle with REcreate


I’ve hidden my credit card in my freezer … and it’s all because of REcreate! I’m obsessed with their Upcycled decor items and furniture and seriously would buy the whole collection if I was left to my own devices for long enough. And, what make it worse is that the collection is currently on sale at City Mob – curses!

Donna Solovei, the genious behind the brand produces upcycled vintage furniture that is just to die for. REcreate turns castaways into clever creations that will transform interior spaces forever. 

Imagine a suitcase turned side table; zinc tub turned ottoman! Their stylishly salvaged pieces never seize to amaze and inspire.

Using pieces of discarded junk, Katie recreates a unique, recycled range of furniture, lighting and interior accessories, each piece infused with its own previous character but with a new function. By blending South African craftsmanship, with high end finishes and her own eclectic perfectionist flair, Katie creates an original end product with a new integrity that epitomizes the very best of South African design.

If I’m not careful soon my entire house is going to have a shappy-chic vibe to it!
