This year's Sydney Design festival theme is "is old new again?". I visited an exhibition over the weekend called
ReForm which explored this theme. It was held in a quiet laneway by the
thefortynine team who scoured roadsides for old finds that they could turn into something new.
Fit new knobs on a chest of drawers, turn a helmet into a pot or a stool into a lamp - maybe there is an idea you can borrow from this collection to try yourself?
