For most people, a discarded drawer is just junk, but for furniture designer Rupert Blanchard, it’s a challenge. From his East London workshop, he transforms landfill-bound street finds from many eras into stylish, functional and in-demand tables, chairs and storage units for modern living. In the lead up to London Design Festival 2012, he shares how his green ethos extends across all stages of his process, from sourcing material locally to delivering his work by bicycle whenever possible.
