Lisa Widén and Anna Irinarchos will present three new objects at Salone Satellite during the Milan International Furniture Exhibition 2008.Three unique pieces made out of used and neglected parts from old products. With this collection of furniture, we explored the possibility of recycling not only materials, but also common shapes and past times. A mix of different styles from earlier decades which evokes memories. Furniture as haute couture.

After Milan, the show will travel to other locations, turning up next to art fairs and fashion weeks, its participants changed, but its spirit and intention in tact.
