RE- is a group of furniture designers from the Architecture and Urban Design studios of Johnson Fain, a prominent internationally renowned design firm from Los Angeles California. This is the fifth generation of the forming of the furniture group, which started in 1999. Johnson Fain Furniture Group exhibitions from previous years have been exciting and featured innovative approaches to furniture d
esign by talented studio members ranging in age, discipline, and professional experience. RE- has chosen a design direction, for 2012, that unifies the group with a theme representing the state of the US economy, reuse of objects & materials, and the reinterpretation of use & personality. Each designer has selected an object or material that has performed a function in a previous life. By visiting junkyards and salvage yards in the Los Angeles area, the designers have found objects or materials and have created furniture designs that represent their personalities and design processes.
