apartment therapy changing the world, one room at a time

Katie started her design business, REcreate, earlier this year in Cape Town with the mission of "striv[ing] for the unconventional and unique in every project." In addition to offering interior design services, she's also put out an inventive array of re-imagined home products created from old and discarded items.

We were particularly taken with her seating line. Vintage suitcases make a comfy comeback as whimsical occasional chairs and settees. The cases have been reinforced with an internal steel structure and plush cushions.

To learn more about Katie and her designs, check out REcreate's website.
