Dutch designer Pepe Heykoop has introduced his latest project, the Skin Collection, in reaction to the waste produced by the furniture industry. He takes furniture found on the street or in a thrift store and then covers it with leather scraps, which are trimmed away in furniture workshops because of scratches, scars and color issues.
I'm all for up-cycling leftover design materials, but I think I see some pieces under all that leather that could be pretty spectacular if they were refinished. Oh, the glue you'd have to scrape off if you restored these pieces! I'll just tell myself they were knock-offs.
