The original plan was to make a wristband out of a used bicycle tire as I`ve seen it on a flea market, so I bought a button plier. But all I had left at home for the moment was a used tube, so I tried to create something with that tube.

Do you have some wooden wine boxes left (plus some free time) and you just don`t know what to do with them? No? But it seams like the owner of that wine shop in berlin had a great idea! You can even buy wine boxes on amazon.… weiterlesen

With a regular picture frame and some glue I`ve built a doorplate with my surname out of them.

hartz IV furniture.

core▲since:eightyfour

It feels like years ago when a friend told me via facebook about Le Van Bo`s 24€ chair. So I became aware of his DIY furniture workshop project (http://hartzivmoebel.de).
Now, on facebook again, it got my attention that Le Van Bo is going to produce a book and needs your help to make it possible. Watch the video to see what it´s all about or visit startnext.de/hartz-iv-moebel-buch to preorder the book.

seats.

Today I spent my afternoon at the Stasi museum (Ministry for State Security in the former GDR). There I´ve seen this nice and simple wall decoration I could easily imagine to install in my own flat. These squares are just demounted seats of used office chairs.… weiterlesen
