About the Artist or Work:
The work done by Reclaimed is multi-faceted and spans different styles of design. Our focus is to capture the antiquity, story and intricate beauty of the found pieces that speak to us. These become our starting point in creating our unique home decor items that range from lighting to furniture to accessories. We strive to reuse and repurpose parts of history and recreate their functionality, giving them a place in modern society while cherishing their origin and history. We love the hunt for information and can share with our clients all we have learned about each specific item or items that make up the new inspired finished product. We incorporate many different mediums from metal work to traditional wood working techniques and find the perfect marriage between them.

What/who inspires you to create art?
We are inspired by the subtleties that surround us; such as the beautiful wood of an old tobacco barn, the patina on a milk pained wagon wheel, the rusty lines of an intricate wrought iron gate and the worn graphics of porcelain signs. There are so many beautiful things around us that all have a story to tell. We are also inspired by people, by their stories and their connection to the stuff of their past. Their memories infuse our passion for design and our desire to continue to cherish these items and give them a new home and a second life.
