rafinesse & tristesse

Recycling Furniture

Some people may view an empty olive tin as trash, but for us it was the inspiration to start ‚rafinesse & tristesse’ in 2006.
Our products are based on the concept of using as many recycled items as possible. We rework them into high quality furniture pieces and miniature kitchens complete with accessories. Each piece is hand made (Germany and Switzerland) and unique. With loving attention to detail we transform everyday waste objects into artistic, playful, and practical products that also benefit our environment.
Our stool “Tin Tuffet” is manufactured in cooperation with social projects.
