RETROUVIUS

Retrouvius is an architectural salvage and design company based in London. Partners Adam Hills and Maria Speake's motto is "bridging the gap between destruction and construction". They're doing it quite well, I think!

(all links, including photos, open in a new tab/window. If links don't seem to work, check your already open tabs or windows!)












I think these images inspire us to try to use more salvaged materials when we build or renovate. More photos at retrouvius.com.

I love the boldness of these drapery fabrics and the pillows! The rustic look mixed with the modern is really great in some of these photos. TFS!

I think that is a charming idea, I would hire them if I didn't have time to renovate some place.

The stand out room for me is the masculine kitchen (oxymoronic?), rare to see that and it is so cool and delicious.

i hope more people and companies catch on to the importance of not throwing so much stuff away and instead, recreating it into something better. love the curtains in that first shot.
