Designer Brian Richer’s Toronto studio, Castor, has offered up more than a few items that spotlight salvage chic, the mix-and-match aesthetic and making more from less; the Castor Desk, for example, comes with an interchangeable array of cast-aluminum legs that look like everything from a baroque chair leg to a log chewed up by a beaver. So it should be no surprise that the item Richer is coveting falls into a similar category: Tejo Remy’s Chest of Drawers for Dutch design house Droog is made of found drawers refinished in maple, loosely clustered together, then secured with a jute strap. The drawers can be pulled apart and reconfigured to suit any need or space; in this loose iteration, for example, the piece is roughly 1.2 metres high. “It’s not too precious,” says Richer. “I like that it takes a familiar and recontextualizes it. It can be viewed as art and design.” From $25,000 through droog.com
