a purpose to re-purpose

i have a friend in new york who turned me on to these two very cool ladies with their own design business, called NIGHTWOOD. in a nutshell they take broken down furniture and textiles and make them into one of a kind original pieces. here is an excerpt from their website.
"Nightwood is a Brooklyn based home décor business specializing in its own reconstructed furniture and textiles. With a down to earth yet airy aesthetic and sensibility, Nightwood conveys a modern rusticity that emphasizes hand crafted one-of-a-kind products. The two halves of Nightwood are Myriah Scruggs and Nadia Yaron."
it reminds me a lot of what mark and sally bailey do. some of you design nuts will know of them and their book, Restoration Home.

check them out. NIGHTWOOD.
