Rebranding "second-hand"



The return to popularity of the DIY (do-it-yourself) movement seems to have led to a new trend – two new shops have just opened their doors in Zurich, Switzerland, each of which in its own way succeeds in turning the old into the new.

"All sorts of objects, most of them from the 'Brockenhaus' second-hand shops, are sanded down, cleaned up and decorated with hand-painted Lashlings."

Les Solstices Energetiques


A really unique look at the energy solstice concept (daylight savings etc) from scenocosme, a design couple's collaborative. They've created a kit for the two solstices of summer and winter which includes various objects and literature, creating symbolic portrayals of energy.
Their concept and more information can be found here.
