PHOTOS: New Yorkers Bid On Furniture and Art Made from Hurricane Sandy Storm Debris at Reclaim NYC

Last night it looked as if all of NYC came together to support <a href="http://www.inhabitat.com/nyc/reclaim-nyc-designers-reclaim-hurricane-debris-for-furniture-and-objects-to-benefit-sandy-victims/">Reclaim NYC</a>, a silent auction putting 24 original furniture and art pieces up for bid to help those affected by Hurricane Sandy. From tables to mirrors to a chaise lounge, NYC's designers flexed their skills to make the best of reclaimed <a href="http://inhabitat.com/nyc/tag/hurricane-sandy/">Hurricane Sandy</a> storm debris. While there's no word just yet on how much money was raised, all proceeds from the sales will go to the <a href="http://www.nyredcross.org/">American Red Cross in Greater New York</a> to support those still feeling the effects of Hurricane Sandy. The auction is said to be the first of more to come, but until the next set of wares is unveiled, click through our gallery to see some of our favorite designs that were up for bid at Ligne Roset’s beautiful showroom in SoHo last night.

A lamp from <a href="http://inhabitat.com/nyc/um-project-uses-hurricane-sandy-debris-to-make-beautiful-lamps/">UM Project’s Après Collection</a>.

UM Project's Apres 1 lamp is made of a rusty steel base salvaged at the Token shop in Red Hook after the storm, a repurposed brass shade from one of UM's LUM lamps, and left-over ash wood from other recent projects.

Faith (8/66) by Suzanne Tick. Tick was going to throw away a 1966 Richard Schultz outdoor chaise that was damaged on the roof of her studio until she was inspired to refurbish the chair for Reclaim NYC.

Dream catcher by Elodie Blanchard. This dream catcher is made from once useful electric wires gone defunct— the piece now stands for hope, dreams and protection.

Uprooted by Dror. Uprooted is a haunting image of NYC through Dror's eyes after the hurricane.

Boardwalk by Evan Clabots/Nonlinear Studio. Made from shipping pallets that washed up at the docks at the Brooklyn Navy Yard during Sandy, the table bears a resemblance to the beloved boardwalks that were lost in the storm. The dowel pins follow the nail holes that originally held the pallets together, celebrating the inconsistency and character of the wood.

Stick-Lights by Lindsey Adelman Studio. Lighting pieces made from reclaimed Cyprus branches.

NY Nouveau Visage by Kevin Michael Burns. Made with love, this frame is constructed with saltwater oxidized cherry, reclaimed brass scraps from the legs of a recent project, and a mirror found on the streets of Queens and aged with acid. The piece is finished with oil and wax.

Thursday Shelf by Brian McGowan. The slight lean of the Thursday Shelves offers a unique storage opportunity for any item. Slat back construction allows light the permeate through the back of the cabinets and the heights of the shelves are adjustable.

The Apres Vessels by UM Project. The three Apres Vessels are made of rusty steel punched forms salvaged at the Token shop in Red Hook after the storm, as well as pine and maple wood left over from some of the studio's recent projects. The wood is lacquered with finishing products donated by Abbot Paint in Greenpoint, Brooklyn.

Candelabra by Bec Brittain. The candelabra made from steel and blackened on the tip while the bottom half was left in saltwater to create an effect that represents a flood line.

Sandy Chest by VOLK Furniture. Constructed out of one soaked and weather-beaten piece of red oak, this chest is meant to look like an object deserving of holding one's most prized keepsakes.

Edison Lamp by Stephane Hubert. The piece uses a reclaimed Edison factory Hemlock from the Edison Manufacturing Co. in Bloomfield, New Jersey.

Drawer to Keep Something Safe by Volk Furniture. More sculptural than functional, this piece was made to represent the severity of flood waters in Red Hook, where VOLK's shop is located.

Rockaway Boardwalk Greta Rack by Kyle Garner + Levi Murphy for Sit and Read. The rack is made from salvaged steel handrail and Brazilian boardwalk ipe from the boardwalk at 37th. Dims: 24" (which was determined by the width of found wood for shelf) x 61" x 21" depth.

The pieces meld well with any interior.

Rain boots for Sandy relief.

Flood Lights by Shannon South. And LED pendant lamp made with reclaimed solid birch logs.

Looking to bid.
