| Multi Drawer Cabinet Square by Rupert Blanchard. Created with discarded drawers that were once part of a 40's desk, a fitted wardrobe, a Victorian chest of drawers, a haberdashery shop cabinet, a 50's sideboard and a 20's chest of drawers. |
Rupert Blanchard is obsessed with drawers. It began when he was a curious child visiting his Grandma's house, which was furnished with watchmakers cabinets and drawers. His obsession and curiosity has developed into a creative talent for up-cycling abandoned, unused and unwanted drawers. Blanchard scours junk shops, car boot sales and market stalls for discarded furniture to re-create into cabinets that will once again be wanted. Each individual drawer has a story to tell from another era, brought together to create something extremely modern yet timeless.
As Rupert Blanchard says "The main rule I have set myself is to only use objects that no longer fulfill the purpose for which they were originally created, and to make the unwanted wanted again."
