If you go down to the Old Cinema today, you’re sure of a big surprise – well, if you look at their upcycled section, at least.
If you love the idea of creating upcycled furniture, but lack the time to it, then buying an already upcycled item is most definitely not cheating.
The Old Cinema London specialises in antique, vintage and retro products and can always be guaranteed to hold some surprises. In amongst their upcycled range today, we’ve spotted these beauties – all distinctive and quirky in their own way and made from some unusual materials:
1. Bet you’ve not seen many mirrors like this, have you? It’s made been converted from an old NYC taxi door!
2. This fab table is ideal to use as a coffee table. It’s made from industrial steel and inlaid with a colourful yardstick top.
3. Would you believe that this upcycled chair has been made from none other than seat belts?
4. Why not light up your home with a gorgeous green bottle chandelier, made from glass and old iron.
5. Another unusual chair to pep up your home seating, this time made out of an old Q8 oil drum, by Faye Vermaak
6. An old retro sideboard has been brought back to life with a striking black and white design
7. Moveable storage is always useful (especially when it’s full and heavy!) and this upcycled steel cabinet on wheels looks great with its funky star design.

really? the taxi door? there is a danger with these sorts of things. I used to always like the idea of an old English red phone box converted into a shower. In hindsight I made the right choice not to do that. The taxi door though might work well on a NYC/loft style type apartment
