Infos

24 inspiring and achievable projects – with easy to follow step-by-step instructions – to transform the dull, the discarded and the down-at-heel into something really out of the ordinary.

Designer and artist Pascal Anson delights in the ordinary: but through his eyes the most ordinary of objects and materials can become, quite simply, extraordinary. He shows us how everyday items, junk and interiors can be reinvented:

- Create a splendid chandelier with just a few rolls of Sellotape.

- Cast a stunning plant pot worthy of any designer homeware store using a cheap bag of concrete mix and a recycled plastic food tub.

- Build a child's dream treehouse with nothing more than everyday cling film.

There are ideas for projects for everyone – from the four-minute makeover skinny jeans, to repairing and reinventing worn out trainers, to bigger projects such as the wood-clad car and the stylish hairy chair.

'A resourceful attitude and way of working is key to me but so is fun, playfulness and sometimes magic'
