The idea behind Refit Retro is pretty simple:
Take something old that deserves to be honoured, and make something new out of it.
That doesn’t always mean a full restoration.
And the piece itself doesn’t even have to be old — although those are often my favourite projects.
It’s more about the mindset.
Taking an old technique, an old concept, something nostalgic or even just experimental, and using it in a project that makes sense for today.
Sometimes that means bringing a forgotten object back to life.
Sometimes it means using a classic way of doing things to solve a modern problem.
Either way, it’s about respecting where things came from, while still building something useful, interesting, and relevant now.
