Recreate Furniture

Katie Thompson is the well known furniture designer who has an eye for potential where others only see discarded, unusable objects. Perhaps her most well known article and best example of her combination of unbridled imagination and local craftsmanship is her suitcase chair, which is often spotted in many Camps Bay apartments.

She has also used teacups, milk bottles and even an old Hoover, which she has transformed into lamps and saw the potential in an old trolley which is now a useful kitchen island.

Katie graduated from the Design Time School of Design and has worked as an interior designer for the last 8 years. She became known as the Queen of Junk' at the Cape Town Decorex in 2009 where she won an Excellence Award and the Green Stand Award. This was perhaps where manyCamps Bay interior designers first heard about Katie Thompson.

The overwhelming response that she received after Decorex proved to be a profitable launch pad for her own interior and furniture design business, which she has aptly named Recreate'. The store has just opened in Woodstock, just across the road from the Old Biscuit Mill where many a Campsbay interior design lover spends their Saturday mornings at the Neighbourhood Goods Market. Woodstock has become a design a suburb for design in Cape Town over the last few years and attracts many trendy Capetonians to its quirky shops.

While Katie is definitely a follower of the Green' trend currently found in all areas of design found in much accommodation in Camps Bay, it was never a conscious choice for her, but has now become part of her mindset. When asked how she comes up with her innovative designs, Katie has said that she has no idea, she just looks at the object and then she knows what it should be transformed into.
