With a simple piece of metal, wood picked up from the street and a desire to create and transform, since 2010 a group of homeless people construct stools, lamps and other pieces of furniture. The project has won awards; however, until now, the most important recognition has been a collaboration with the company Camper to decorate one of its shops with the furniture.

Speaking of pretty things made from wood, this table/stool called Beam from Holler Design is really lovely. The hand-charred finish is excellent, and the way the three pieces of reclaimed pine fit together is simple but beautiful.
