Reclaim  |  RECLAIM 03 June 2016
In this issue of Reclaim, we meet some remarkable people who are passionate about working with reclaimed materials. From the ingenious designer and maker Paul Firbank, otherwise known as The Rag and Bone Man, who creates bespoke lighting from scrap metal, to Maria Speake and Adam Hills, the owners of salvage emporium and interior design service Retrouvius, these people are driven by a genuine desire to creatively reuse items others would discard. Reclaim applauds and celebrates their passion.
They’re not alone in their brilliance. In this, our third issue, the pages are brimming with incredible design talent. You’ll find a fascinating interview with Paul Parry of Bad Dog Designs, who impressed the managing director of Liberty with his stunning steampunk clocks, and with Hayley Saunders of Rust Bucket Workshop whose delightful ‘junk’ sculptures fill us with joy. It’s these unique items that inject story and charm into a home.
We’re delighted to have had a fascinating conversation with architect and TV presenter George Clarke, and to have met traditional signwriter Joby Carter of Carters Steam Fair, who is leading a resurgence in the art of signwriting. You’ll find a review of the Decorative Antiques and Textiles Fair and an interview with the inspired interior designer who transformed a pigsty into Firefly, the luxury retreat on the cover of the magazine. And if, after dipping into the magazine, you’re in the mood to tackle an upcycling project at home, don’t miss colour expert Annie Sloan’s tips on working with vintage furniture.
There’s so much more too. From the finest decorative salvage and brilliantly repurposed vintage crockery, to a glimpse into the world of Europe’s antiques shops and markets with the Antiques Diva, we hope Reclaim magazine will inspire you to create a unique home with intriguing stories to tell.
