Seriously- the best t-shirts ever. Safety green for the site, or charcoal for hiding the dirt. I predict a sellout. #reuse #decon #safety #swagger #style

This week we are focusing on the incredible sponsors we have lined up for Decon + Reuse 17! First up: Detroit Audio Lab! This amazing business uses reclaimed materials to build the most beautiful speakers! Their salvage partner is another of our faves (and sponsors!), Architectural Salvage Warehouse of Detroit. Here's a photo, courtesy of DAL's Facebook, of a team member selecting materials in the warehouse. @thebmra @architecturalsalvage @detroitaudiolab (at Detroit Audio Lab)

And here's the beautiful finished product! We are so thrilled that Detroit Audio Labs and Architectural Salvage Warehouse will be joining us at Decon + Reuse 17 in Portland this month!

So cool. Video games now feature reuse centers where you can take your "furniture" and make it a new color or otherwise upcycle it. #animal crossing #newleaf #reuse #fixitfriday #videogame #reuse #upcycle #upcycledfurniture #thechildrenareourfuture #simulacra #meta (at Animal Crossing New Leaf)

Meet the BMRA's new mascot, Grumpling the cat. He's here for the day recuperating from a trip to the vet, and as you can see- he is not in a forgiving mood. #catsofinstagram #catsforreuse #mascot #reuse (at Building Materials Reuse Association)

A snippet from Xavier Wrona's inspiring talk tonight @archeworks "Architecture as fraud and ritual practice" translated roughly to: start a revolution and change the world. #wastedmarket #infrastructure #bataille #architecture #neoliberalism #rebuildfoundation #changetheworld (at ARCHEWORKS)
