There's nothing ugly about the creations of Ugly Duckling, and we fell in love with their upcycled furniture when they exhibited for the first time at our August vintage fair. Ruth and Phill are the talented duo behind the Ugly Duckling brand and are responsible for transforming unloved furniture into something original, beautiful and fun. Having just returned from two weeks trawling the vintage stores in Orlando, we can't wait to see what treasures they bring along to our Retro Rooms Show on 2nd October. Here are some pictures of their stall at the August event as a wee taster of what's to come.

Phill is also the graphic artist behind Arcane Media, and we loved his dark and macabre artworks. Visit his website to see more of his one-of-a-kind paintings and designs.
