Slow Design: Katrin Arens Plate Rack
From Julie
Another use for reclaimed pallets (see our earlier post DIY: Pallet Chair from Studiomama), from German designer Katrin Arens, who uses "materials from derelict country houses, cellars, and carpentry studios" in her designs.

I especially like the old nails use to hold the plates upright. I work in a factory where we receive material on pallets. We used to be able to sell them to recyclers for $3 or so, but there are so many now, and business is so slow that no one wants them. We're lucky if we can get someone to take them without having to pay them. 8-(
