People who have talent are born with it. This is undeniable. I’m amazed with Usha Velasco’s admirable work. The designer transforms materials found in the trash into surprising furniture and decorative objects. Paint cans, newspapers, pet bottles, iron scraps, construction wood, buckets and whatever else he finds in recycling centers.

Don’t miss the opportunity to check out this young man’s sensational work. I’m still drooling. I’ll try to make something for my new apartment—that is, if my lack of ability doesn’t get too much in the way. Too bad these pieces are not for sale. However, the designer offers courses and workshops. Check out the details of the room above:

The pieces are designed for easy reproduction. According to the artist, they don’t require any special ability (ha, ha, ha, he doesn’t know that I’m totally clumsy). You can copy, save, reproduce or change the designs. The entire blog’s content is absolutely copyright-free. Everybody can be inspired by the designs, copy and disseminate them. And quote the source, of course, because the artist deserves and is entitled to this recognition.

This precious tip was sent to me by dear @anaclaudiabessa. Thanks, girl!
