Ben's Automotive Decor started in 2012 when Ben saw past the oily, dirty broken engine sitting in the rain. With a vision of a stunning and unique coffee table in mind, he started converting the V12 Aston Martin motor into a conversation piece for the living room. Ben is a true artist and is naturally very protective of where he allows his name to be used, so Repurposed was proud to have B.A.D. as one of our original brands when we opened.

Based on the Central Coast of California, Ben and his wife Chloee run the business together while raising two small children. The concept of repurposing items means a lot to them, and the elegance with which many automotive parts are designed—coupled with Ben's creative vision—give us all the opportunity to enjoy them outside of their original purpose.
