Soojin Kang of Seoul, Korea via all the mountains. These are pieces of reclaimed furniture that Kang has reupholstered (by hand) with scraps of leather. She’s clearly a super talented designer as she’s able to turn discarded goods into beautifully-crafted objects.
“According to designer Soojin Kang, who ‘fights against this epidemic (of disposables) with needles and threads,’ she believes that the lack of consumer consciousness will increase even more in the future. She has therefore set out and hand crafted her own furniture which is inspired by traditional crafts and antique raw materials.” – Yatzer

Over the last couple weeks we’ve made some exciting updates to our apartment that I want to share with you all. Isn’t it fun to see a space progress over time?
Here’s what our living room looked like at the time of our Apartment Therapy house tour in July. We had a couch and rug we loved, a great piece of art but not enough furniture and seating. Plus it felt a little stuffy. .
.
And it stayed that way up until a few weeks ago when we purchased the Strut Blu Dot coffee table via Craigslist. The new coffee table is large and low to the ground which makes better use of the space and creates an informal, lounge-y vibe. The clear acrylic CB2 tables moved to the side of the room.
.
And just this week we purchased this DWR chaise lounge in “Avocado” (again via Craigslist) and rotated the existing furniture. We are digging the new arrangement! There’s more space for lounging and the cats have given it their seal of approval too.
