Learn how to bypass the status quo by using salvaged materials to make simple chairs, tables, lamps, and other furnishings that are both functional and beautiful. Guerilla designer Will Holman presents more than 30 step-by-step projects made from paper, wood,  plastic, and metal, complete with instuctions on how to recycle or repurpose them when you're ready to move on.

Review

"Will Holman put together a book full of great projects that will jump-start your creativity. It's a fantastic resource for the beginner and experienced maker alike!" Jimmy DiResta, designer and builder, host of Discovery Channel ' s Dirty Money and HGTV ' s Hammered

Review

"I have a license plate bowl, made by Will Holman, sitting on a common table. While the aesthetic appeals, it's really there because it tells a story about where the materials were found and who made it. Learn from one of the best how to make your furniture tell a story you're proud of." Eric J. Wilhelm, PhD, founder of Instructables.com

Synopsis

This innovative collection features 35 simple, inexpensive projects that you can make from salvaged and upcycled materials -- cardboard, metal, plastic, and wood. The projects include tables, shelving units, chairs, lamps, and more, in a variety of styles. Many are stackable and easily portable, most can be made in a weekend, and all include instructions for disassembly and disposal when you’re ready to repurpose the materials. If you’d rather make than buy, these low-budget, high-style designs are just what you’re looking for.

This innovative guide presents dozens of strategies for upcycling scrap cardboard, metal, plastic, or wood into dependable shelving units, sturdy tables, and fun lamps.
