Voted in Vanity Fair's Top 10 Products at London 2007.
Vag-a-bond:
Adjective
Having an uncertain or irregular course or direction.
Disreputable; worthless; shiftless.
Leading an unsettled or carefree life.
"Vagabond
originated from a series of photographs I took over a 12 month period
of ‘homeless’ furniture thrown out on the streets of Edinburgh.
Amazed at the quality of such 'rubbish', I began to collect wood and various
materials from skips and garbage bins."
Vagabond is an attempt to give value back to these materials, once
disregarded as worthless junk.
Materials: Each drawer inside is unique, hand-crafted from different reclaimed
woods, including brown oak, sycamore, walnut, birch plywood, chipboard,
and pine.
Each door knob is also different; their patina effect juxtaposed with
the high-gloss lacquer finish of the cabinet.
