Description:

Used interior design is adorning Danes’ homes more than ever before. In this book, actors Lars Ranthe and Bodil Jørgensen, jewelry designer Anders Forup, and stylist Mette Helena Rasmussen show their most treasured recycled finds and talk about the special thing about living with things that others have used before them. Sanne Løndahl Farup invites the reader inside her newly opened shop selling vintage furniture in Vesterbro, and researcher Kristian Handberg explains how recycling connects history with the present.

"If I take something off the wall, I don't throw it away or sell it.

Then I put it in the skunk or in the basement, and then from the basement up to the summer house; so there are several steps before it gets out, and it usually doesn't get out completely."

Lars Ranthe

"It's not always the price that matters. You can easily find things that have a really cool design language and don't cost a fortune. Sometimes it's actually more fun."

Anders Forup

"Things carry a story that you just have to have some kind of respect for."

Mette Helena Rasmussen

"I'm not interested in a particular frame or any particular furniture or clothing. I'm happy with things from all eras."

Bodil Jorgensen
