Tripp Gregson builds traditional and artistic furniture and accessories from vintage materials and objects. He calls his work “Retro Nouveau,” because antique wood, hardware, old signs, doors, and other found objects are utilized in the construction. One of his latest creations, the Recycled Street Sign Briefcase, is a street-savvy take on the traditional briefcase and a surefire conversation starter on the subway.
The aluminum casing is covered in modern iconography, each unique in its own way, with salvaged traffic signs cut and emblazed on all sides. Measuring 17.75 x 13 x 5″, the briefcase comes with an interior organizer and file pockets, combination locks to keep unwanteds out of your privates, a laptop compartment for snug travel, and an adjustable carrying strap if you’re not the hand-holding type. This perfect gift (or self indulgent buy) is ideal for the personality-plus types — available now for $250 from UncommonGoods.com.
