Urban Repurpose

08/21/2026

Working through a ton of new furniture donations today, so our space for a rest of the week may be limited. The “wave front” furniture was made by Imperial furniture in the 1950’s and 60’s and was designed by Jan Kuypers. Solid birch under all that ugly paint 🤢.

This one still has a few veneer issues at the base of the legs, but nothing a piece of decorative trim wouldn’t fix. The rest came out better than I expected. Worth a few hours to keep it from the landfill.
