Ariele Alasko creates one-of-kind furniture and fixtures from 100% salvaged and recycled materials at her shop Brooklyn to West. This headboard is absolutely gorgeous, so understandably her pieces fly off the shelf. No worries she takes custom orders on her headboards and tables. This past summer Ariele finished “The Big Table“, watch the making in the video below.

Over at Piadesign, innovator and designer Pia Wüstenberg has been experimenting with a wide range of materials from glass to ceramic to wood to paper. Lately, she’s been glueing up layers upon layers of paper, which are then shaped into rings (used to create the vessels above), table legs and lighting fixtures by using a lathe. She then transforms ordinary home decor and furniture into wildly patterned and uniquely irregular objects. You can purchase some of her products over at Utopia & Utility.
