Reclaimed Pallet Wood Accent Walls

CREATE Great Accent Wall using reclaimed Pallets/Wood

These examples all use a horizontal mounting pattern starting from the bottom up. Sand down or chemically clean the wood prior to staining and/or sealing the wood. Then mount to desired effect.

The feeling created can range from rustic to modern, and eccentric

Great uses creating Shelving, Jewelry box, or Tool Storage Space

Give a cabin-like makeover to your attic or basement. It will add warmth and change the tone of the room especially if it is a large echo-ey space

Paired with a modern low bed, and cheap industrial lighting fixtures

Pallet Tables

RESPONSIBLE DESIGN

Designers have a responsibility to create practical living spaces that utilize materials that otherwise would go to waste. Pallet tables and seating areas pictured below are just a few clever ways to recycle "one man's trash" and transform it into a stylish and functional space.

TREASURE

Simply stacking 2 pallets as a coffee table. It matches well with the natural wood floor to create a neutral palate of colors to work with in the room.

2 Pallets joined by 4x4s on the corners. Stain to desired color, add wheels. Portable outdoor furniture. Affordable, Easy, and Useful!

Vue du Monde, Melbourne, Australia

"Shannon Bennett’s established fine dining, recently reinvigorated in the move to Level 55 of Melbourne’s iconic Rialto. Vue de monde is testament to the belief that restaurant dining can be a wondrous, unforgettable experience and pays homage to classical fine dining in a sophisticated, modern context" ~vuedemonde.com

I had the immense pleasure of going to lunch at the amazing Vue du Monde Restaurant in Melbourne, Australia. The 10 course meal, including wine pairings, a cheese course, and several desserts and petit fours was a once in a lifetime experience. Each course awakened the senses and pleasured the palate. 

Inspired by master chefs such as Carême, Dugléré and Escoffier, Shannon Bennett’s cuisine respects classic techniques and ingredients while reflecting his own innovative style at his Melbourne, Australia restaurant, Vue de monde. His culinary journey began at age 15 with an apprenticeship at the Hyatt in Melbourne under Roger Leinhard, and continued in Europe in the kitchens of Albert Roux, John Burton Race and Marco Pierre White.

In 2000, Bennett opened his first Vue de monde in Carlton, and a few years later opened the current location in Melbourne, where he translates his background in classic French cuisine to an Australian setting. Vue de monde was awarded “Restaurant of the Year” by Australian Gourmet Traveller for 2006 and again in 2007—the first time in the award’s history that it was won by the same restaurant in consecutive years.

the 'wire' series (manufactured by domeau & peres) are welcoming seats 
and sofas in the library lounge, characterized by a curved metal rod that is 
harmonically unjustified in its clustered complexity, positioned under each
seat.

 'cinema seats' by david lynch (manufactured by quinette)

cinema seats 
the cinema seats (manufactured by quinette) are the result of 
a special ergonomic study that has been conducted to match a spacious and 
atypical manner to experience the cinema viewing. the seat owns a reduced 
inclination and straightforward geometry to allow the guests a liberated position. 
each seat has its leg stretch pouf, tray, lamp and uncompromised space. 
projected bronze has been applied to the entire support of the seat.

silencio club owners arnaud frisch, manu barron and anthony caton invited david lynch 
to create a 'unique club experience' the result is a new space located at 42 rue montmartre 
that is inspired by and named after club silencio from the film mulholland drive made by 
lynch in 2001.
