Although Trend Hunter has featured quite a few products that are labeled eco-friendly for their recyclable nature, David Olschewski’s repurposed collection is, I feel, quite unique.
Taking actual objects that were made for one purpose use (i.e. shovels) and creating something just as useful but entirely different is not only clever, but also pretty chic as well. Although simply altered (well, perhaps not the clothes pins), David Olschewski’s designs become instant statement pieces.
