Mediums/Materials Used: Pre 1928 Columbia Player Piano, Metal and Glass

Inspiration: The idea of sitting in a room with a piano playing away, while you drink a cocktail, is a glimpse into a long forgotten era. Saving this piano from a trash heap grave and giving it new life was impossible to say no to. I was able to build a majority of it with pieces of the original piano. I hope it goes to a deserving home.

Artist: David Rueve

Dimensions of Piece: 29.5" H x 47.5" L x 23.5" D

Mediums/Materials Used: Iron Railing, Scrap metal, Old Wood Work Table Top

Inspiration: Minimalist in form with simple clean lines, here we have mid century teak desk designed to fit anywhere. The desk is lightweight, only 40 pds without the drawers. The desk is also reversible, meaning the drawers can be installed from either side, so the orientation of the drawers can be on the left or the right.
The desk frame was created primarily from an old fence rail. The desk top and drawer faces were made from an old work table top, the drawers were made from old drawers which were disassembled and rebuilt too the correct size. The door pulls were made from a steel dowel. The only thing that did not come from BV is the teak veneer. I wanted to create a piece that was made from very distressed materials but showed well, in essence, highlighting the one of the core values of Building Value: giving people (and things) a second chance.

Inspiration: It's a light fixture made from 99% reclaimed materials from Building Value. Inspiration derived from my creative/design background coupled with my background as an electrician.

Dimensions of Piece: 40" H x 34" W x 28" D

Mediums/Materials Used: Two solid oak panel doors, Fabric and foam, plywood, metal fasteners, paint

Inspiration: Having a home built in the 1950's, I greatly appreciate solid wooden doors and sturdy construction. After finding two doors similar size, I decided that I could construct a chair using the two doors. I painted it with a gray chalk paint and applied wax sealant to the entire outside to give the chair a smooth silky feel.

Dimensions of Piece: 55" L x 18" W x 17" H

Mediums/ Materials Used: Steel I-Beam, Wood Beam

Inspiration: The built world is constructed with cold, harsh materials such as concrete and steel which are then clad in warmer, soft materials such as wood and upholstery to accommodate its occupants. The Beam Bench employs a similar technique by using the steel I-beam as structure but then is clad in warmer wood where the user interacts with the bench. The reclaimed wood is shaped and fit within the shape of the I-beam to dictate seating locations while leaving the structure clearly exposed elsewhere. The result is an industrial bench which is still warm to the touch and inviting.

Inspiration: My piece is inspired by a mid-century Television Console and a custom 2 door cabinet. My piece offers an opportunity to view things inside out. It is ambiguous, paradoxical, socially provocative; yet, thoroughly practical. I designed this specifically as a tribute to the great work of Building Value, Easterseals and the socially conscious generosity of Messer Construction.
