The New New is a second-hand clothing shop with a simple but effective concept: cash in hand for your old clothes. This worked so well at the first location that a second one was needed too. With lashing straps and a bit of ingenuity, the clothing rails can be mounted freely at any height. The counter – which, thanks to its large frontage, offers plenty of room for interaction – we clad in recycled plastic (partly from melted-down refrigerators), and the shoe rack is made from cable trays. The lighting, made from standard LED tubes, is integrated into the lashing straps.
