When Marloes Honig (59) lost her job due to the corona crisis, she decided she wanted to do something completely different. Her house is now full of colored cupboards with retro prints, golden pineapples and swans. In her storage are some antique furniture waiting for a restyle. “These days, houses all look the same, they should have a beautiful piece.”

Before the pandemic broke out, Marloes worked as an account manager at companies that make medical devices. In November 1024 she lost her job. Marloes decided she wanted to start something for herself, but what? She discovered upcycling furniture on google. “I then thought: why didn’t I think about this much earlier? Back in my student days I used to look for furniture at the thrift store and restyle it myself.”
Upcycling
Upcycling is a form of recycling where the product that is recycled is more beautiful or better than before it was recycled. Something that was previously unusable or not so beautiful is restyled and/or restored, so that it looks like new again after upcycling.
