Brooklyn's internationally acclaimed SCRAPILE has turned "dumpster diving" into a fine art form, creating stunningly original and beautiful furniture from repurposed scrap lumber. SCRAPILE was founded in 2003 by Bart Bettencourt and Carlos Salgado who met while working on installations at the Guggenheim Museum. Alarmed at the amount of waste generated by and beetween exhibitions, they seized on the idea of using scrap wood to build new and beautiful designs. SCRAPILE furniture is fashioned exclusively from material recycled from New York's woodworking industry including Steinway & Sons, and several local woodworksing shops. SCRAPILE's timeless designs have garnered enthusiastic attention from The New York Times, TIME Magazine, and ELLE Magazine, among others. DWELL magazine has called their Pi dining room table "impossibly elegant".
