Chandelier made from old kitchen utensils by Madeleine Boulesteix

Madeleine Boulesteix

Madeleine is based in South London and South Devon

I’ve been making chandeliers using recycled materials for over 20 years. It started after finding 40 faceted glass drops in some rubbish. I wanted to make myself a chandelier that looked opulent but was made from humble objects. I found metal kitchen items for the structure at car boot sales and scrap yards. They seem nice jaunty objects with more potential so I liberate them from their domestic duties by incorporating them into my chandeliers. I love thrift and the challenge of re-using. 
 
 
 
 
Wearth sustainable furniture

Wearth London

50 Keswick Road, Great Bookham, Surrey KT23 4BH

Wearth London has joined forces with Veo, which the two are positioning as the go-to online department store for shoppers who want to buy stylish, modern eco-friendly furniture for their homes. Furniture is made by designer-makers in the UK using sustainable/reclaimed/upcycled timber and pieces you'll find include upcycled wine crate bookcases, tables, kitchen pegboards, shelving, side tables and seating. Upholstered wine crate ottomans are particularly useful because not only can you sit on them but lift the lid and you'll find generous storage space. So for furniture with eco brilliance, character and individuality, spend time perusing Veo.

And a feature of our store that customers love is that they can search for products using criteria important to them, which could be 'reclaimed timber', 'biodegradable' or '100% recyclable'.

Woven Image is an Australian company that manufactures innovative surface coverings and textiles.

It has the added bonus of being able to absorb sound, so in spaces that are noisy or echoey, it creates what's called acoustic comfort for people. 

EchoPanel demonstrates upcycling at its best because it's taking a waste material and creating a high quality new product from it. It comes in panel form, ready-made freestanding screens, ceiling suspended space dividers and in packs of peel-and-stick tiles - which are great fun to use.

I enjoy creating playful compositions from everyday observation of objects and places. Table top vistas, memories of places and people, they all flow into my mind as I paint. Vessels, jugs and pots of flowers, windows and views from inside to outside are favourite and recurrent themes.

Bird forms, for me a symbol of the creative spirit, also inhabit my imagination and my work. Strong design and expressive colour, simplification and decorative reorganisation of the facts are all used to explore these subjects. Through my paintings I hope to share with you what I see and also how my imagination is sparked by my observations.
