Sewer Mats Made From Recycled Truck Tires

Category: Ideas

Tags:

Have yo ever considered having a really wacky carpet in your home? Desigend by Jason Amendolara,these sewer mats- that’s right, this is what they’re called- are certain to spice up a dull entrance. They can be used as welcoming carpets, but no one says they can not be integrated in a room’s interior design. In fact, having more of them on the same floor could create a fun street theme. The indoor/outdoor mats measure 24 in diameter, are made from recycled truck tires and are being sold online for the sum of $25. We found a purchasing place here. The graphics include reproductions of some of the world’s famous city sewers (funny, huh?) like Paris, London, Chicago and so on. What do you think- really cool, really crazy or both?

Sarah Lovgren - Modular Furniture that Switches Between a Seat and Recliner

Category: Furniture

Tags: furniture, furniture design

Designed by Sarah Lovgren this modular lounge named la bande can be modified to be used as both a seat and a recliner. Developed in comparison with Franzi Kohlhoff, the furniture splits up into two independent sections at one end of the bande, while the longitudinal split and the flexibility of the material allows the two sections to bend separately to form space. Both the sections of the bande are hooked into a slot in the base, which gives stability of the furniture to rest the users in utmost comfort. This project was a result of the designer's bachelor thesis, space in the context of its sensual perception and Sarah had Franzi Kohlhoff as a project partner.
