Best Hard Rubbish Finds EVER!

 

 

My friend Mardi and I are partial to the odd Hard Rubbish outing... last weekend Mardi went out for a wee trip around the local streets and ended up getting two car loads. Amongst her collection I think she found the best score EVER!

Yes a "Componibili" from Kartell designed by Anna Castelli Ferrieri in 1969. The amazing thing about this is that it was in pieces and so was potentially very easy to miss amongst the rubbish. But something drew Mardi to this particular heap and in a flurry she quickly grabbed all the bits she could find. When back home she started to clean it up not knowing if she had all components. She put it together and voila, a complete unit! FABULOUS!

I really couldn't believe it when she sent me a photo. I have to admit I am a bit jealous (but in a good way) and still can't believe it. We just love the buzz you get when you find something this good - and I certainly share her excitement on this one!

I can't be too upset because Mardi did give me her other fab score, a set of old school pigeon holes that I currently use in my studio.

Scoping out Hard Rubbish is certainly not something Mardi and I can do together. I'm sure we would end up fighting over the treasures! Go Mardi!!
