Recycled Materials Take Centre Stage in Furniture Innovation
Sustainability is increasingly becoming more important, and leading to great changes in almost all industries. Furniture is no exception in becoming a symbol of supporting sustainability, and is ultimately turning into somewhat of a trend. With the reality of environmental concerns unlikely to disappear anytime soon, it’s not surprising that recycled furniture is on the rise.
The available materials for producing recycled furniture are breaking the traditional boundaries of furniture. Thinking outside of the square is one way to make sure materials can be recycled and reused in innovative ways. The Adirondack range of chairs pictured below, which are reminiscent of traditional beachside furniture, are in fact made from recycled HDPE bottles, meaning less bottles heading for landfill, and less timber cut to produce outdoor furniture. Check out ConnectFurniture.com.au for the wide range of options and styles to choose from.
If recycled plastic isn’t quite your thing, there are plenty of other pieces of furniture utilising recycled materials with a more traditional appearance. The Gordes Noel Dining Table is manufactured from 100 year old recycled timbers originating from China. The end result is a stunning and unique piece of furniture that is sure to make a statement in your home. The antique inspired piece could suit a variety of rooms and would look fantastic alongside both timber and contemporary furnishings.
