"Riedizioni" Basket Bag multicolor fringe in polyurethane designer: Luisa Cevese design year: 2009 manufacturer: Luisa Cevese, Italy materials: silk; polyurethane notes: Riedizioni is the name for a series of personal and products for the house made from industrial waste materials. Another word for this is recycling. Damaged fabrics made of precious yarns, stained tablecloths, old lace, and prayer rugs with worshipped-in holes are among the objects that end up in Luisa Cevese's hands. The Milan-based designer is known for fixing fabric remnants in resin for her Riedizioni line of bags and shades. Cevese's work is the ultimate act of recyling: she not only reclaims that which would otherwise be thrown away, she creates new forms and new uses, and often finds that what she has made is art. Her mantra is a simple one: "I love waste". Each piece is hand made, and therefore each is unique. dimensions: 14" wide 12.5" high 6.5" deep price: $390.00
