My name is Salvatore (Sal) and I've been created with over 15 species of reclaimed wood. I am presently completing my outdoor “Weathering” period, having been lovingly hand-coated with a blend of natural oils. This process and time has made me essentially waterproof and impervious to bugs and rot, as I wish to live until the end of time, if at all possible, and to say nothing of my wonderful tone & complexion.
I am suited for both indoor or outdoor living. I have the ability to stand alone or hang on a great wall with a French cleat.
I'm Jules the younger, more rebelious cousin of Salvatore. Created with 10 species of reclaimed wood, my “Weathering” period outdoors is complete and I must say it's been a blast, literally!
I too was envisioned and created by Giles Runeckles, and I enjoy both indoor and outdoor living, although I really see myself either on a wall or standing indoors, enjoying the view from an expansive window setting.

The initiative encapsulates the practice where materials and objects are reclaimed, reimagined and reborn. Recycling, upcycling and repurposing has been in my studio DNA from the outset, and has never compromised the successful outcome of any project. New materials are used when called for and always work symbiotically and sympathetically with reclaimed material, and this has often led to unexpected & entirely new avenues of exploration and creation.
There are no materials limitation, although in keeping with the R3 spirit, the use of environmentally sensitive materials is kept to a minimum if used at all.
