Description
A cult publication that describes itself as 'a magazine for people who like to make stuff, who see the flicker of invention in everyday objects'. This quirky, witty 'how-to' volume, the magazine's incarnation in book form, is full of inventive and clever design projects - from water-bottle lounge chairs and ladder shelving to shopping bag rugs and denim dog beds - guaranteed to thrill and inspire modern do-it-yourselfers of any age.
Reviews / Votes
'Packed full of interesting ways to breathe new life into products, you'll never throw anything away again' - Scotland on Sunday 'Practical, stylish and witty' - Grand Designs 'Embodies a spirit of not just DIY, not just reuse/recycle, but a revolutionary sort of aesthetic ethos that allows us to make elegant objects from unelegant things ... For now, it's the only tasteful way to have taste' - Dave EggersMore details
