ReCovered Cabinet: Built to last, Redesigned to fit

The potential of a retired office hero

As offices go paperless, countless metal filing cabinets—once essential for storing records—are being discarded.

Built to last for decades, these sturdy cabinets are piling up in warehouses, no longer fitting modern workspaces or home interiors.

Instead of letting them go to waste, the ReCovered Cabinet gives these office staples a fresh, functional, and stylish new purpose.

  • Base: redundant filing cabinet

    Each ReCovered Cabinet starts with a sturdy, redundant metal filing cabinet, rescued from office clear-outs.

    These durable frames are given a second life, preventing waste and reducing the need for new raw materials.

  • Frame: Reclaimed oak

    The cabinet’s frame is crafted from reclaimed oak, sourced from old tables.
    By cutting the wood into small strips, we maximize material efficiency and reduce waste.

    The oak can be finished with a natural wood stain, preserving its character and durability.

  • Panels: Sustainable & Versatile

    The panels offer great flexibility. The standard option is natural hemp fabric, a regenerative, durable, and eco-friendly material.

    Other options include reclaimed jean fabric, repurposed kites, or thin surface materials like Forbo linoleum for a unique finish.

One cabinet, endless style possibilities

Designed to last, styled your way

Why settle for static storage?
The ReCovered Cabinet’s changeable panels let you redesign your furniture as often as you like—without the need to buy new.

Whether you prefer a bold statement or a subtle natural style, the choice is yours.

By swapping panels instead of replacing entire pieces, you extend the lifespan of your furniture and reduce waste.

Frequently Asked Questions

What i'd like to know about the ReCovered Cabinet

Do I need to bring in my own filing cabinet?

No, you don’t have to— we source redundant office cabinets ourselves.

But if you already have a sturdy filing cabinet you’d like to transform, that makes it even cooler! We can give your existing piece a second life, ensuring it fits seamlessly into your space with a fresh, modern upgrade.

Why is this a sustainable choice?

Millions of metal filing cabinets become obsolete each year due to digitization. Instead of sending them to landfill, we extend their life by giving them a modern, adaptable upgrade with reclaimed and renewable materials.

Plus, the interchangeable panels mean you can refresh the look over time instead of replacing the whole cabinet.

An added bonus: the cabinets can be refurbished directly on-site, minimizing transportation and further reducing their environmental impact.

Where does the ReCovered Cabinet fit on the R-Ladder of Circular Economy?

The ReCovered Cabinet ranks high on the R-Ladder, focusing on Reuse, Refurbish, Remanufacture, and Repurpose to extend the lifespan of metal filing cabinets.

Here’s how it fits into the hierarchy:

♻️ R5 - Reuse

Instead of discarding metal filing cabinets, we extend their lifespan by giving them a new function and aesthetic without melting or breaking them down.

🔄 R6 - Refurbish

We remove old plastic doors, clean and update the structure, and replace outdated elements with durable reclaimed oak and modular panels, giving the cabinets a contemporary look.

🛠 R7 - Remanufacture

The cabinets are transformed into high-quality, stylish storage solutions, combining existing industrial durability with carefully crafted, reclaimed materials.

🎨 R8 - Repurpose

By upgrading old office cabinets for new spaces and uses—from modern offices to home interiors—we prevent them from ending up as waste.

While the ReCovered Cabinet primarily focuses on Reuse and Refurbishment, its modular, interchangeable design also prolongs the product lifecycle, reducing the need for new furniture in the future.

How does the refurbishment process work?

We start with a consultation to determine your preferred materials and finishes. Then, we pre-make the oak frame and panels in our workshop. On-site, we remove the old plastic doors, clean the cabinet, and install the new components, transforming it into a stylish, functional piece.

Can I customize my ReCovered Cabinet?

Absolutely! You can choose from different panel materials, colors, and finishes to match your style.

We also offer special editions and custom collaborations for businesses and designers looking for a unique fit.

Can the panels be changed later?

Yes! The panels are designed to be easily swapped out, allowing you to update the look of your cabinet whenever you want.

Whether it’s a new color, material, or branding update, your cabinet can evolve with your needs.

Are ReCovered Cabinets suitable for large-scale office refurbishments and interior architecture projects?

Absolutely!
ReCovered Cabinets are an excellent choice for large-scale office refurbishments. We love working with interior architects and project teams to integrate our cabinets into sustainable office designs.

The more cabinets involved in a project, the more efficiently we can operate—allowing us to optimize production and reduce costs per unit.
Whether you're looking for a cohesive, branded aesthetic or custom finishes, we’re happy to collaborate to create the perfect fit for your project.

Is the ReCovered Cabinet suitable for home use?

Definitely. While originally designed for office settings, its warm, modular design makes it perfect for home interiors as well. It can be used for stylish storage in living spaces, creative studios, or home offices.
