Upcycle Design

I just moved to my first apartment and I have been filling my blog with this kind of stuff. So I decided to make a blog dedicated to just interior design type upcycling. Enjoy! Feel free to ask me anything or submit!...

http://dangerousminds.net/comments/vintage_vespa_scooters_turned_into_office_chairs# VINTAGE VESPA SCOOTERS TURNED INTO OFFICE CHAIRS   I’m digging these upcycled Italian scooter office chairs. I mean, aren’t they a nice change to all the Aeron chairs you see everywhere? These scooter chairs have functioning headlights to boot! The chairs, made by Spanish workshop Bel & Bel, are manufactured from ‘80s vintage Italian scooters. The chair has a reclining feature, a reinforced internal structure and a base with hydraulic piston to regulate and adjust to the most convenient height. It is a very comfortable ergonomic chair, imitation leather upholstered and soft tread silent wheels. Its traditional character and high-end components only makes it a unique product and a great sample of contemporary design. It is also a piece emotionally charged for all lovers of this classic and iconic motorcycle. The chair is being made in strictly limited quantity. Sadly, there’s no price for them on the Bel & Bel site—you can contact Bel & Bel directly to get a quote—but they smell expensive.     More after the jump… @upcycledesign @upcyclechic @repurposedgoods @officesuppliesjunkie

How a crew of Havan-based designers are using recycled materials to show the world what their country's art is made of.

Cuban designers must be particularly resourceful. Since the U.S. imposed its restrictive trade and travel embargo on the Caribbean country in the 1960s, its artists have had unique difficulty obtaining working materials. So Havana-based designers Raiko Valladares and Jose A. Villa turned to components that were not in short supply: construction steel.

“These materials are common in our country due to its widespread use,” they write in an email. “Therefore [it] is relative easy access [to] their cuts.”

The result: VIBRA chairs, visual interpretations of the Cuban music scene. Made of the recycled steel and red, blue, and green elastic—the only colored elastic, the designers say, that is currently available in Cuba—the chairs are meant to evoke string instruments.
