News Community News Furniture Auction | Vinella & Krupa

10958304_410687825774900_1020322694524621363_nVinella & Krupa are hosting a one-off auction of pieces from their collection of bespoke furniture pieces and sculptures. It will be held in Studio 6.17, this Friday 20 February from 6pm sharp.

Vinella & Krupa achieve highly striking and original results by dovetailing art with functionality. Marcin Krupa is an experienced antique furniture restorer and Federica Vinella has a talent for etching and pyrography. Together, they give new life to old furniture, make homeware accessories and also create large, bespoke murals for residential and commercial properties.

By its nature, upcycling is a serendipitous process, where the shape, material and age of the furniture dictates the execution of the restoration and decoration. Like many furniture upcyclers, a challenge V&K face often is a lack of space and storage which has brought about this sale of unique and unrepeatable works.

2015 is destined to be a big year for V&K. In addition to their own Etsy store, soon their products will be available for sale on the new online upcycling retail shop Remade in Britain. They also plan to open their own standalone shop, which will provide space to emerging artists to connect and display their work.

We hope you can join them in the first of these big steps, at the furniture auction this Friday on the top floor of St Margaret’s House. All welcome.
