"Upcycling is the process of transforming seemingly low-value objects into something desirable. Born out of this concept, Upcyclist selects designers and makers who have the imagination and skill to turn waste into exceptionally beautiful creations. From elegant chandeliers crafted from bicycle chains to handwoven rugs made from discarded clothing, these reincarnated works, in contrast to items that are new and mass-produced, preserve the essence of their previous lives whilst being entirely fresh and contemporary."--Back cover
