Material Reuse
Scrapile is a collaboration between Brooklyn-based designers Carlos Salgado and Bart Bettencourt. Their furniture is created with discarded pieces of wood from local wood shops. According to Carlos Salgado, the idea behind the project was to keep scrap woods from piling up in local land-fills. "We wanted to reintroduce these materials back into our daily lives as useful items and objects" says Carlos.
