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.

533774842 0cb5acf262

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

bath chair01bath chair02

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.”

    My partner and I stumbled over here from a different page and thought I might as well check things out.
    I like what I see so i am just following you.
    Look forward to looking over your web page repeatedly.

  35. インターネットでビジネスなどを働く人たちが仕掛けたトラップに引っかかってしまう人物がいます。
    特にポルノサイトを閲覧した時の災害が多いのです。
    それを総称してポルノサイト被害と呼んでいます。
    トラップの手口はいろいろとあります。
    いずれの場合も相手に高圧的な文章を見せつけて、慌てるに陥れるのです。
    ポルノサイト被害にあった人の多くは、アダルトサイトを見ていたと言う事実で後ろめたい気持ちが働いていますから、その弱みに付け込まれているのです。
    エロサイトを見るしたからと言って、あなたのことが相手に知られることはありません。
    しかし、いかにも知っているかのような文が出て、すぐに支払わなければ訴えてやると言われてしまうと普通の人はびっくりしてしまうのです。
    相手に連絡を取ると、それは思う壺なのです。
    特定の部分をクリックすることによって、プログラムが起動します。
    そして、いきなり入会されたことを宣言するのです。
    あなたにそのつもりがなくても相手は勝手にあなたが承認したように言うのです。
    そして、数日以内にお金を払うように要求します。
    アクセスしてきた時間はわかっていますから、後何時間何分ですと表示が出るのです。
    支払わない場合は合法的な取り立てを行うと書かれています。
    もちろん、これは何の効力もありません。
    無視すればよいのです。
    あなたが人に相談できずにいるだろうと言うことを相手に狙われるのです。
    このような手口はすでに周知の事実なのですが、今でも多くの人がエロサイト被害に遭っているのです。
    インターネット上でリンクを簡単にマウスクリックしてしまう人がたくさんいます。
    アダルトサイト被害の原因となるものです。
    何気なくクリックするといきなり別画面が立ち上がって、費用請求の脅しが出てくるのです。
    このような請求の仕方は法律違反となります。
    つまり、相手は言いがかりをつけているだけなので無視すればよいのです。
    しかし、多くの人は画面が出ただけでびっくりしてしまいますよね。
    そこが問題なのではないでしょうか。
    つまり、多くの人はポルノサイト災害のことをあまり知らないのです。
    エロサイトをアクセスしたら、どのような被害に遭うのかを理解していればよいのです。
    警察のパンフレットや地方自治体の広報などでもアダルトサイトの危険性は書かれていますよね。
    それでも災害に遭ってしまう人が多いのはどうしてでしょうか。
    もちろん、そのようなビジネス行為を働く業者がいることが一番の問題ですが、いつの時代でも悪人はいなくならないと考えるべきです。
    それならば、私たちが自己防衛をしなければなりません。
    危険には近寄らないことが一番の対処方法です。
    ワンクリックに引っかかった時の対処方法についても知っておくことです。
    そうすれば、どのような場面でも冷静に対処できるでしょう。
    それを知らないためにパニックになって、相手に電話番号や住所を知られることになるのです。
    インターネットは危険地帯であると認識しておきましょう。
    その上で慎重にサーフィンをしなければなりません。

    knowledge, well, keep up the good work fellows.
