Broke the table? Chair collapsed? There is no desire or need to collect them. But inspiration will appear if you think completely unexpected things from furniture debris.
Look at the selection of photos where new uses found broken tables and chairs. Moreover, most of these ideas are born by the famous designers and, of course, not from hopelessness.
For example, the designers of the German studio Antik Kombo from Gettingham came up with Silent Servant storage system (translated from English - "silent servant"), which consists of the back of the chair, the shelf for the smallests made from the chair seats, and the shoe storage box.
