Resource Revival
Home Furnishings
Where do bike chains go to live happily ever after? Resource Revival collects them and turns them into functional art. If you have a friend that has as many bikes as they do Bruce Springsteen albums, perhaps they’ll like a CD rack made of old bicycle rims, cogs and chain rings.

Handcrafted in Portland, Ore.
