MVE\u2011Collection<\/a> is a Paris-based design studio that creates furniture and objects from reclaimed materials and construction\u2011site waste. They created these Brique<\/a> furniture pieces:<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

They’re made of reclaimed bricks that are assembled and joined, not by mortar, but by an unspecified “molten metal.”<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

The surfaces are then sanded down.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

The studio was founded by French architect Vincent Eschalier and designer Matt\u00e9o Lecuru, who previously worked together at Eschalier’s architecture firm. Interestingly, the duo was inspired to start the spin-off firm by the amount of waste they encountered during conventional architecture projects. “We became attentive to the materials we were demolishing or uncovering during the [demo] phase of each project,” Eschalier told Icon<\/a>, “from aluminium window frames to the brick hidden behind plaster or stone rubble from old floors.”<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

“‘The idea is to recover as much material as possible from a building and reintegrate it, in the form of furniture, back into that same space,” says Lecuru. “It also highlights, through material, the identity and history of a place, while giving the furniture and its environment a distinctive character.”<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Eschalier notes that due to his work as an architect, the studio has first crack at the materials on offer during a renovation. With any luck, more architects will start paying attention to that, rather than simply waiting for dumpsters to be filled so that the “real” work can begin. <\/p>\n
