Recyclart » bench http://www.recyclart.org Inspiration to feed your recycling mind ! Wed, 08 Feb 2012 20:35:15 +0000 en hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.2.1 Rubber Glory http://www.recyclart.org/2012/01/rubber-glory/ http://www.recyclart.org/2012/01/rubber-glory/#comments Fri, 06 Jan 2012 23:19:26 +0000 Neokentin http://www.recyclart.org/?p=13141 A result of long term hunting for something I did not expect to find ! However, frame is made from two parts, both ends are parts of an approximately 100 years old children’s bed. The middle part – chrome-plated steel – used to be a chandelier stand. Everything is welded together. And, the soft part is made from used bicycle cameras. Need some care if you plan to leave it outdoors ! Place for 2-3 persons.

Each bench uses three contrasting chairs from different eras to form a new contemporary piece. All benches range in size, shape and color. More information and availability at 31andchange website !
