Who can take a jumble of Goodwill furniture and turn it into a fabulous visual merchandising display?If you're Carlo Orrico who just opened Le Vigne, an artisanal Italian wine shop in Greenwhich Village, you call up Mad Lab Architecture and Design for a creation that's complementary to your historic store front yet modern in its topsy-turvy eye appeal.
I visited Carlo's shop the other day and marveled over the creative use for old furniture, from old tables with flip-top lids to hid precious wines to tables and desks that make for clever shelving solutions, all created with an eye for style and a respect for budget.

Editorial note: I received a kind note alerting me to the fact that this amazing installation was created in collaboration with SPURSE, an international art collective. Go visit them at www.spurse.org!
Hope you enjoy the video!
