“It’s about using an object dear to you that you cannot throw away,” says Bulgaria-born Nikolov. “I’ll take that object and give it a new function. It still holds the original memory but works in a different way.” The cost of his service ranges from about $600 to $19,000. One of his latest creations is Egg Shells (shown here), a swirling ceiling installation of polyurethane paisley cut from surplus Egg outdoor chairs. “Paisley is a very ancient symbol from Persia,” Nikolov says. “It stands for life in eternity.” A fitting shape for lawn furniture that has just been rescued from the junk heap.
