The top 10 recycled and recyclable chairs and benches


bath chair01

I have recently got my hands on a copy of Dave Evan’s “Cool Hunting Green” a collaboration of “recycled, repurposed and renewable objects that inspire a greener world.” You can pick up a copy here if you’re keen.

From it I have deduced this list.. (in no particular order)

 

The top 10 recycled and recyclable chairs and benches    

#1. Exbox bench – Giles Miller

exbox chair

Designer Giles Miller’s ingenious and resourceful answer to helping the needy.

The ex-box bench was born whilst designing a bed for the homeless. The recycled cardboard is simply slotted together and can be made to any desired size.

#2. N+ew – Rodrigo Alonso Schramm

n+ew-stool

The N+ew stool-sculpture-installation cleverly uses (in a very obvious way) recycled electronic trash. This is made possible through the use of epoxic resin whilst the feet of the stool are made from melted aluminium. The stool is produced in limited editions and each is very unique. http://rodrigoalonso.cl/rodrigo_alonso.html

#3. Cow Benches – Julia Lohmann

These eerily realistic cow like benches are made from rawhide and stretched over a foam frame, and sculpted to mimic a cow’s torso.

“A leather bench or bovine memento mori..

..We don’t want our food to remind us of the animal it is made of and, at the same time are able to create living materials through advances in bio-technology. The ‘cow-bench’ explores the threshold between animal and material.

 

Thanks to everyone at Alma Home, London”

#4. Annie the shopping trolley – Reestore

The converted shopping trolley chair is by the contemporary eco design crew over at Reestore.

“Annie the shopping trolley chair is perhaps the most iconic of ditch

fillers. trolleys are generally scrapped due to unaligned wheels or exposed wire. Once transformed by reestore they become beautiful yet functional

upright chairs.”

#5. Bath & Beyond – Reddish Studio

The “surprisingly comfortable result” of simply cutting an old bath in two.

“cut, bent and legs added” It’s that easy..

#6. Kid’s Spring Chair – Cambium Studio

Kids-spring-chair-2

I wish I had one of these growing up! A kids bouncing chair made from sunflower board and an old truck spring.

Looks like hours of entertainment!

#7. Human nest – Emily Pilloton

189795364 410962d23a o

So named for obvious reasons, the human nest by Emily Pilloton. The nest uses layers and layers of off cuts of scrap fabric.

It looks very cosy, a great to place to curl (or nestle!) up with a good book.

#8. Vertibral – Joseph Keenan from ESO

vertibral2

The very changeable and customizable Vertibral comes from Joseph Keenan via Environmentally Sustainable Objects (eso)

“Vertibral is a versatile and flexible seating/table/storage range.”

 So named because of it’s human spine like movement, the Vertibral is completely Australian designed and manufactured. The timber used is completely renewable from managed forests.

To be fair, the Vertibral doesn’t stop at just a “chair or bench” but can also be used for shelving and storage. Check out direct link here for a great video with it’s designer Joseph Keenan to see how customizable it really is!

#9. Hanging Chair – Raw Studio

This is one from a collection of Hanging chairs that have been developed by Raw Studio; this particular model is known as ‘hive’

Originally designed by Nick Rawcliffe, the Hive Hanging chair is completely eco friendly. It is made from sustainably sourced FSC grade ply and marine rope!

#10. The Raw Bench – Jason Iftakhar

rawbench

And finally, the raw bench by Jason Iftakhar. Jason has taken the saved hundreds of supermarkets cardboard boxes and packaging. He has created a system where the packing systems in fact produce usable, ready products.

Products such as the Raw Bench. The product could be easily created through the use of on site machinery that already exists in supermarkets! “the main idea is to use infrastructure and resources that already exist in a clever way to produce products and objects that prolong the life span cycle of cardboard.”

    understanding moгe. Thanks for fantastic info I wɑs looking for this
    infоrmation for my missіon.

    I just want to mention I’m beginner to blogging and site-building and absolutely enjoyed this page. Probably I’m likely to bookmark your blog . You really come with awesome stories. Thanks for sharing with us your blog.

  4. Hеllo! I’ve been following your website for some time
    noѡ and finally got the courage to go aheaԁ and
    give you a shout oսt from Kingwood Tx! Just wanted to tell yߋᥙ ҝeep up the
    excellent job!

  5. Glad I found this on google .

  6. This design is wicked! You certainly know how to keep a reader entertained. Between your wit and your videos, I was almost moved to start my own blog (well, almost…HaHa!) Great job. I really loved what you had to say, and more than that, how you presented it. Too cool!

  7. The first thing you do is buy hair bleach and baking soda.
    Hair peroxide comes in several concentrations, from 20% to 60%.
    I would get 40%; it is strong without being too caustic.
    You will also need to buy hair bleach, which can be chosen in powder type of.

    I would recommend Jerome Russel’s hair products for
    both the bleach along with the peroxide. The bleach from the company is comprised
    of heavier granules, which means they won’t puff up into the air and get all
    over like other brands.

    The cut and hue of the emo look rrs incredibly much like punk rock meets gothic; layered midnight black blunt cuts having a streak of stark light colored.
    There is only one constant in the variations of your emo haircut, that is bangs.

    The bangs are an absolute must for that haircut to become an emo,
    and the bangs end up being styled somehow to cover a area of the face for it to be considered an emo hairstyle.
    The emo bangs could be thick, blunt cut right at the eyebrows, or thick, blunt cut from temple to temple, or fringed and worn with a side part and
    combed over one eye. The purpose of the thick or fringed bangs being to are finished
    a part of the face.

    In the back, her hair is very long while at the front, her
    very long bangs appear to have been brushed forward taking finished
    one side of your girlfriend dial. Rihanna’s hair color is mostly a dark toast.
    It’s worthy of the oval, heart, precious stone face forms.

    Once involved with mixed, apply the bleach mixture to ones
    hair benefits of the plastic airbrush. Apply at the tips first and move
    as many as your inception. Warmth and heat help the bleaching process.
    Anyone apply the bleach for a hair roots first, the heat from
    your scalp is likely them bleach faster than your hair tips, creating an uneven look.

    There ‘s no better option than coloring your hair to feel trendy and new.
    A nicer hair color can really create wonders to the actual whole look.
    It imparst a lot of confidence level in the personality.

    So that you can pamper the outlook, you go for hair color that suits his/her skin tone and eye color.
    Dark shades of burgundy, mahogany and dark brown compliment in the better in order to a best blue black hair dye.

    For Indigo or Amla, simply mix with enough water to generate a
    paste the consistency of yogurt. This doesn’t need
    freshly squeezed lemon juice. Simply use warm water, adding a bit at an occasion full so it
    doesn’t become too thin. Once your Indigo or Amla is
    mixed, it is stir every one of your pastes together that you’ve planned on hybridizing.
    Make sure you stir it completely so you aren’t getting streaked head’s hair.

    While most of the products above are generally
    safe utilized correctly, they can be downright hurtful.

    Always read and follow the instructions on their own package, and inquire while using company should you have questions.

    Roux Clean Touch is really a gentle formula that removes haircolor from skin and scalp.
    Removes excess color from hair ends and assists in removing stains from swimwear.
