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
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
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
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
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
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
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.”

If you are considering making the switch with a barefoot lifestyle, no need to
be a profound change. The warm up should continue for only
five minutes and so the next 10 minutes is going to be high intensity intervaals in places you adjust the exact level and
speed abbreviated bursts of workout out as well as short periods
of lower level workouts or rest. A good quality new or
refurbished elliptical will have a very number of features that will further
help in your weight loss goals.

Greetings from Ohio! I’m bored to death at work so I decided to check out your blog on my iphone during lunch break.
I enjoy the info you present here and can’t wait to take a look when I get
home. I’m surprised at how fast your blog loaded on my
phone .. I’m not even using WIFI, just 3G .. Anyways, good site!

Hi there! I’m at work browsing your blog from my new iphone 3gs!
Just wanted to say I love reading through your blog and look forward to all your posts!

Hello there! I know this is somewhat off topic but I was wondering which blog platform are you
using for this website? I’m getting fed up of WordPress because I’ve had
problems with hackers and I’m looking at options for another platform.
I would be great if you could point me in the direction of a good platform.
Howdy! I know this is somewhat off-topic however
I had to ask. Does managing a well-established website such as yours take
a massive amount work? I am completely new to writing a blog however I do write in my diary everyday.
I’d like to start a blog so I can easily share my experience and feelings online.
Please let me know if you have any ideas or tips for new aspiring blog owners.
Thankyou!
You actually make it seem so easy with your
presentation but I find this topic to be really something which I think I would never understand.
It seems too complicated and very broad for me.
I am looking forward for your next post, I’ll try to get the hang of it!
An interesting discussion is worth comment. I do believe that
you should write more about this subject matter, it may not be a taboo matter but typically folks don’t talk about such issues.
To the next! Many thanks!!
Hey just wanted to give you a brief heads up and let you know a few of the images aren’t loading properly.
I’m not sure why but I think its a linking issue.
I’ve tried it in two different internet browsers and both show
the same results.
I think everything said made a lot of sense. But, what about this?
suppose you composed a catchier title? I am
not saying your information isn’t good., but what if you added something to maybe grab folk’s attention? I mean design tavern »
The top 10 recycled and recyclable chairs and benches is kinda boring.
You might look at Yahoo’s home page and note how they create article titles to get people interested.
You might add a video or a related picture or two to grab
readers excited about what you’ve got to say. Just
my opinion, it would make your website a little livelier.
This post will help the internet viewers for creating new web site or
even a blog from start to end.
Very soon this site will be famous among all blogging and site-building viewers, due to it’s fastidious content
Everything is very open with a precise clarification of
the challenges. It was truly informative. Your website is very useful.
Thank you for sharing!
Hmm is anyone else experiencing problems with the pictures on this blog loading?
I’m trying to find out if its a problem on my end or if it’s the blog.
Any feedback would be greatly appreciated.
Hi, this weekend is nice in support of me, since this time i am reading this great educational article
here at my house.
