Whether your motives are those of environmental conservation, or just desperation to avoid more identical furniture this book is full of examples of ersatz style which all of us can achieve. These celebrated designers give concise instructions on how to create each design, from the modest transformation of a shutter into a CD rack to the sizeable excavations of railway sleeper steps. Their clear step-by-step advice and photography will guide you through your projects as well as a list of all the equipment and resources you will need. More than a practical design manual it offers readers a whole new perception of everyday objects around us: as the authors themselves warn, once you attempt one design, you could very soon find yourself giving a discarded breadbin deep gazes of appraisal, or making nocturnal visits to your local tip.
