Anyone who haunts auctions, dumps and recycling depots like we do (it’s the hunting and gathering instinct still there) knows how many old bathtubs there are out there. And until I came across Trashformaciones outdoor chairs I thought all you could do was leave them out in the paddock to water the horses.
A comment about them on the Treehugger site led us to some similar cutting and folding of garbage bins.
It’s all good clean ingenious fun but I can’t see it catching on, another example of recycling as identity statement rather than practical alternative, unlike the extremely practical inner tube briefcase. But if you’re a poor student looking for cheapo seating then get out one night, steal a wheelie bin or two and just follow the instructions.
While you’re at it you could even make a lounge. This one is from baumhaus collective, I like it more than the chairs and I’d love to know more about baumhaus collective but I can’t find anything.
