Today, more than ever… Joanne Palmisano’s design books about reusing material are a MUST HAVE.
In the building and design industry there is so much room to add reclaimed, salvaged, recycled and vintage materials. As well as, create properties that have character while decreasing our need for virgin materials. We have enough glass to recycle and create enough tile to wrap the world… we have enough steel and metal to be recycled to reuse into copper panels and light fixtures, we have a TON of reclaimed wood for framing, and character fixtures and finishes, and let’s not even get started on textiles— that can be reused and remade into upholstery fabric and more…
Plus — and how fun is this — we have an abundance of second-hand shops, architectural salvage stores, and rebuild centers — not to mention, the small business owners who are creating new products out of recycled materials (think new tile out of recycled glass). Joanne’s Salvage Design Series are the best out there to not only give you the inside scoop of using these materials — but why we should be. :). Her interior design books are inspire and help you become more eco-friendly and sustainable in the design world while creating beautiful designs.
