Giovanni Scafuro is an italian artist who began to work in artisans shops where he learned and applied the art of these amazing manual trades to create complementary furnishings.

Daily use objects change image! He says “this is a change of route in object’s life, thanks to recycle and reuse concept”. His true love goes to forks and so he’ve created jewels and house furnishing reusing them.

Objects and materials are for Giovanni an inexhautible source of inspiration and life interpretation: his manufactoring is in continuous metamorphosis, indeed… in progress!

And now Have a look at Giovanni Scafuro’s website

This is a great recycle fashion project. Black Dog Textiles’s aim is : “The idea is that we work together to make something that you particularly value. For example you might have material from a dress or suit or even a curtain which you would like to have transformed into a beautiful and usable object. You might have seen one of our bags and love one just like it only a different colour or pattern – we can do that (identical is more difficult)”.
