Reclaim Magazine RECLAIM 08 December 2016 Back Issue

There's a certain allure to historical things. Often beautiful, reflecting times past when craft and design was taken more slowly, when everything from a grand bed fit for a king to the flour tin in a modest home was made with care. Today, it isn't just this attention to detail that we appreciate. An attraction to vintage allows us to dream, to find unique special things that make the stories in our imaginations real - in our very own homes. Nowhere is this more apparent than with dealer Harry Diamond and his striking collection, at once macabre but also delicate. He shows that the simple truth of going with what you love can have spectacular results. Another home featured in Reclaim - a converted pub which is both bright and bawdy - is further testament to the beauty of choosing your heart's desire. Find interiors inspiration in these two homes, alongside in the feature on 'cabinets of curiosity' started by pioneers who travelled the globe, returning with items that fascinated them. There's an insight into lighting rescued from abandoned factories, into an iconic designer chair, plus our regular news, edit and treasure hunt in a salvage yard. Enjoy this issue!
