Design Made from Recycled Books

On Saturday June 29, 2013, designer Brian Gennett will show his work at Chung King Studio in Los Angeles for Chinatown Design Night. "I am a designer of interiors and objects, based in Los Angeles," says Gennett. "My passion lies in combining my artistic ability with my love for interiors. My work exemplifies my interest in sustainable practices and one-of-a-kind hand-made objects." Here's a preview of his work, which he hand-crafts from vintage and antique books.

The side tables Gennett makes use the same process. The book covers are applied to simple geometric tables he designed. "I am very excited about the tables," Gennett says. "My upcoming show will be the first time anyone has seen them."

Gennett also recently designed a book cover-clad headboard. He also creates artful geometric-patterned trays. "As with everything I make, any pattern, size, wood or metal finish can be customized," he says.
