sitting in garbage: a $400 idea.

for my justmeans internship one of my tasks is to look for cool blogs that are in line with the company's mission. this may seem boring to some, but through it i have stumbled upon some of the coolest blogs and articles!

one articles i discovered in my internet travels is about ecological furniture, and being of a design mentality it just gets the brain juices flowing :) i mean look at this:

looks like a normal weaved hammock. guess what its made out of...

seat belts. fuckin cinturones de seguridad. the concept seems so simple in retrospect, but whoever thought of it in the first place is kind of a genius. and hes getting paid like a genius too...200 pounds for a bunch of old seat belts in a weave pattern. it goes to show the fiscal value of ideas.

though these furniture pieces are awesome in concept and relatively so in execution, the most beautiful ecological furniture i have come across is definitely vivavi (unfortunately i will probably never be able to afford any of their designs...but i can still drool). its what inspired me to take the furniture design studio next semester. let's see what comes out of that.
