UK designer James Henry Austin created Project Won inspired by the London 2012 Olympic games. Made entirely from UK salvaged sports hall flooring, James has been hand-making this furniture using traditional joinery techniques in his Shropshire workshop.
The individual salvaged planks are hand sanded, leaving the original sports lines on display and then recoated with a natural wax oil.
We love this idea. We’ve seen a similar project by Søren Rose using gymnasium flooring – loving this sustainable design!

Making custom furniture with salvage is so on trend and these pieces are fantastic inspiration. Love the light color. Thanks DM.
