Rick Handel – Rick Rubens Recreations

Business Profile

I create one-off upcycled designer furniture from pre-owned pieces & recycled materials. All my work is totally unique as I do not duplicate.

The process includes stripping all of the original finish, resetting drawer and doors so they open and close properly, oiling, staining, painting, fitting or recreating new handles. In certain cases, especially with my popular entertainment units, I’ll remove drawers to make shelves; make shelves into drawers or cupboards; ensure good cable access between compartments etc. And where possible make shelves height adjustable, to maximise the use of space. This is so each piece can accommodate the growing choice of audio visual equipment in our homes today.

I’m selling my recreations on www.trademe.co.nz. All the items I sell have Rick Rubens in their title, so finding them is easy. Or just click the image below and it will take you to my Trade Me listings.
