  • This is Monocle on Design Extra.

  • It's a short show to accompany our weekly program where we discuss everything from architecture and craft to furniture and fashion.

  • I'm Ailey Evans.

  • Transforming existing objects into new items or upcycling is becoming more popular in the design world.

  • One creative well versed in the challenges and joys in producing, producing work this way is Cheryl Leisner.

  • The interior furniture and lighting designer has produced statement art lamps for hospitality, retail and office spaces for over a decade with her atelier Rui Bolster.

  • I recently caught up with Cheryl at a studio in East Amsterdam to find out more about her approach to reuse and upcycling.

  • Lighting has always been my first priority in any interior design.

  • It can make or break any design.

  • I asked my boyfriend back then, he was an electrician.

  • Can you make lamps for me?

  • I have a lot of ideas.

  • The budget is always so small.

  • We can just create something beautiful.

  • And it started with one lamp, and then two, and then more.

  • And now it's sort of a company within my company.

  • I still design most lamps for my own projects, but now other designers discover it as well, and also owners of buildings who maybe have a big void in the building and they need an art light, something spectacular.

  • Then we design custom lamps also for other projects.

  • And what is the key to having an extravagant art lamp?

  • What needs to be at the start for it to be an amazing piece?
