Designer approach to recycling

As my regular readers already know, I am Fascinated with glass, its beauty and enormous range of colours, forms and applications, but what I even more like about it is the possibility to be recycled. And one great example of clever designer approach to recycling glass is what Melbourne based glass artist  Ruth Allen is doing and her  Sustainable Stubbies! Functional vessels created from repurposed bottles, beautiful lighting. Enjoy:

Look at her Champagne pendant from the new Sustainable Stubbies LIGHT range:
Aren't they beautiful?

"The bottles are taken through a hot process that strengthens the product by nature of ‘annealing’, resulting in a vessel that can withstand hot liquid, a dishwasher and the test of time." source
I think that this is one of the best ways to  recycle glass and a great example of sustainability in action.

A treasure house of design ingenuity

This is a house which surprises you at every step - one after another you discover a design piece that is a real ingenious transformation. And all of them - a great example of clever recycling and re-use, but not only that - they are great design, too!

Close to Amsterdam, a young group of nonconformist Dutch architects imagined a 100% green house, nestled in nature. Recycling, humor and imagination. Photos: Robert Holden  via

 
Take a look at every object and notice what it is made of! My favorite is the armchair - it is legant and obviously comfortable! I am only wondering how they keep the chandelier clean, but still, it is a great design piece. The bookcase is definitely a unique design!

This is an example of perfect eclectic coordination of objects and materials, in addition to to its recycling value :)

And this one is an example of perfect architectural and designer work with a just the perfect degree of humor.

Bathroom is my favorite - it is warm, romantic, modern, elegant

and eclectic with tasteful coordination of unthinkable combination of objects :)

Congratulations, Denieuwegeneratie!

Re-Design

Интериорен ре-дизайн, Еднодневно пренареждане, Дизайн на цената на 1/2 фотьойл... Наречете го както ви харесва. Интериорният ре-дизайн е нещо, което всеки може да си позволи и удобна алтернатива на традиционния интериорен дизайн. Това всъщност е една от най-бързо разрастващите се тенденции днес в обзавеждането в САЩ, но аз мисля, че е възможност, подходяща именно за нашите условия. Представете си вашата дневна, обзаведена с вашите мебели и предмети, но по начин, по който би го направил професионален дизайнер! Или с минимални допълнения, но с далеч по-малко разходи от традиционната ни представа за дизайнерски интериор. Това всъщност е естествена част от услугите, които Trendoffice предлага и RE-DESIGN е просто един от възможните варианти.
