Upcycled
As much reused material as possible.
Our story
The story behind CJ7 Designs
01 How it started
Preserving history and the planet
My main goal is to incorporate as much used material as possible in my creations: discarded, scrapped, swapped, you name it.
It is fun to turn one man's junk into another's treasure, all while reducing waste! Old pistons become clocks, valve covers become coat racks, and spark plugs become hooks and bottle openers.
Alongside the upcycling, we do custom laser etching, from Pittsburgh steel mill pint glasses to skyline ornaments, with Marisa Golden helping design, ship and look after every order.

02 Where & how it’s made
Rescued, rebuilt and made to last
Every piece starts with something that already had a life, then gets cleaned up, designed and built into an uncommon statement piece for your home.
- Rescued. Used, scrapped and swapped parts get a second chance.
- Rebuilt. Designed and assembled by hand in Pittsburgh.
- Etched. Custom laser etching for glasses, ornaments and gifts.
