Rehabilitated Dishware

Why It's Good:

Vintage and overstock dishware gets a redesign in artist Sarah Cihat's Brooklyn, New York, studio, where bold motifs ranging from skulls to butterflies are emblazoned onto a hodgepodge of patterns and shapes with fascinating results. Assemble a one-of-a-kind set that's uniquely yours. Prices range from $34-$59.

Why It's Green:

Old and overstock dishware—snapped up by the artist from thrift shops, garage sales, and reject piles—is first given a makeover, then reglazed and refired. Repurposing an object is one of the greenest things you can do—nothing new is created, just transformed.
