Hang Art Made of Recycled Duds

Decorating interiors with rubbish may sound unpleasantly hoarder-like, but home goods from designer Eileen Fisher’s lifestyle brand DesignWork are entirely composed of preowned Eileen Fisher garb. New this month: modular panels to decorate your walls that range from a haphazard field of fabric strips to ghostly compositions of garments (spot the shirt in the example). In various sized panels starting at 2 feet by 2 feet, from $100 a square foot, eileenfisherdesignwork.com

Light Up with a Bottega Veneta Lamp

Bottega Veneta’s crosshatch weave, hand-produced in leather for much of the Italian fashion house’s accessories and home goods, is reinterpreted in the OVM Table Lamp, created by jewelry designer Osanna Visconti di Modrone. Lost-wax casting yields a brushed-bronze base so distinctive, no logo need be applied. 24 inches high, $33,000, Bottega Veneta, 212-371-5511
