I can't remember exactly where I saw it. I just remember not being able to stop thinking about it.

“Every object has a story to tell and part of that story always involves someone”

Every object has a story to tell and part of that story always involves someone. This 'story telling' is the foundation for the collection of objects from Manoteca. Capturing old, discarded objects and turning them into something new to be appreciated, Manoteca hopes that the object’s new owner will think about the life the object once lived and the stories it invariably told. Often paired with recycled materials, the designers reinvent old objects into one-off designs that are completely handmade and only painted when necessary.  Hailing from Bologna, Italy, Manoteca re-creates objects in a little house located in a park.  The end result provides a consistent theme that emulates the age when the objects’ story began.

“manoteca’s stunning tables are functional works of art”

Manoteca’s stunning tables are functional works of art, constructed entirely from abandoned wood doors. Each aged and worn door is reinvented and assembled along with other recycled objects and materials to create beautiful and original pieces. The Italy-based design company uses only natural paints, and the door’s former parts are re-integrated in different sections to create additions that open outwards to reveal storage pockets and more.

“The dual functionality of this product is just genius”

How brilliant is this vintage door transformed into a table or work station? The dual functionality of this product is just genius. Manoteca mounted this door on a steel frame and hinged one side of it and added raw hide pockets to store tools when open.

“is devastatingly beautiful”

Having the words Italian, one-off and handmade in the same sentence are never usually synonymous with affordability, and to be honest, we don't really have any idea the MSRP of the following items, and because we could not find any pricing info on them we'll have to assume they are expensive. However, that does not mean you can't appreciate and desire them, after all, everybody loves a Ferrari despite few ever getting the opportunity to own one.
