Ohmega Salvage
Berkeley, CA
Ohmega Salvage is a Berkeley-based company that has established a model of reuse, recycling and social exchange, preserving old, quality items.
Their name is a synthesis of two concepts: ‘Ohm’s law,’ the measure of electrical resistance to power (as they said to themselves “Hum, Hum”), and the Greek symbol Omega, the final letter in the Greek alphabet, signifying that an object can be reborn even when at the apparent end of its life.
