What is Upcycling?

Upcycling is the sustainable reuse of discarded materials in the creation of products of higher value, quality, or utility.

The materials we source are remnants recovered from cutting floors and bins slated for the landfill - due to being too small for their intended purpose, or deemed obsolete for their industry.

Most of the materials we use are NOS (new old stock). We also love incorporating used materials for their character, so long as they are are structurally sound.

Our Upcycled pieces are all small batch handmade in our studio, and individually unique. These materials may have vestiges of prior use but that’s all part of their story that continues to live on!

I'm always on the hunt for vintage materials to upcycle with ARTIFACT designs and love antique painted awning cloth. It's cotton canvas and the stripes and colors are printed over the surface like silkscreen. With time and use the material softens like an old band tee shirt.

The awning industry moved on to woven polyester materials decades ago, so it's great to upcycle this material into such an ideal use.
