Funk
Kimberly Lapierre traded a Wall Street career for a more authentic connection to the creative process. Kim started Lapierre Designs, which led her to start her company Funk N Junk that offers vintage and industrial style case goods. She teamed up with Gene Salerno, a carpenter since the age of 15, who was passionate about reclaiming treasures he found in rivers and abandoned buildings and repurposing them into unique handcrafted furniture. Following his dream, he established Wild Edge Designs in 2010. He worked with interior designers in New York, New Jersey and Pennsylvania to create custom tables, benches and lighting to meet their specifications. They instantly realized that their artistry and creativity complemented each other producing furniture that is stylish, functional and funky. Thus giving birth to Funk N Junk. Now Funk n Junk sells authentic reclaimed furniture and accessories with integrity, ready-made or to order in custom sizes and materials. Funk N Junk is located at 19 N. Franklin St., Lambertville, NJ. For more information, call 609- 460-4494 or visit www.funknjunkfurniture.com.
