Artist Statement

The concept of reincarnation requires that all souls are created and annihilated simultaneously. In keeping with the fundamental principle that energy must remain constant in the universe—no more/no less—souls too must remain at a constant number. This ideology was interpreted in terms of the global issue of the throwaway culture.

NineLives is a furniture and textile label specialising in the act of furniture-hacking and reincarnation. Created to stretch boundaries and inspire how we construct the world around us, NineLives deconstructs abandoned pieces of furniture—stripping the flesh from it’s bones to expose the genuine and unique qualities that lie within.
