Yoming

I wrote about Yahia Ouled-Moussa's boutique in the 17th awhile back, but wanted to re-present his work again, adding some images and more details. Paris based designer, Yahïa Ouled-Moussa, www.yoming.fr, has a way with reinventing old clothing or fabrics into funky and functional design objects. He studied interior architecture in Paris, but it was through a job with a French cabinet-maker who specialized in restoring period furniture where he developed his passion for furniture and design. Ouled-Moussa transforms sturdy, vintage French linens, army sacks or antique porcelain tea sets into stylish smocks, small sitting stools, and bound sculpture. Yoming, 95, rue Nollet, 75017 Paris. www.yoming.fr
