Sustainable Design - Upcycled and Sustainable Textiles used in Furniture

Sunday 10 June 2012

Degree Show over.


My final pieces. By upcycling textiles and the re-use of things, 
these seats represent three aspects of sustainability.


'Where do you sit?'


'Economy' Wine bar stool
Made of pin stripe suiting fabric it evokes a dripping oil pool,
the oil being a natural resource used as currency.























'Ecology' Rocker
Made of hemp scraps, shirts, cushions, and a door, 
this seat was designed in collaboration with Bob Underwood. 
It looks at the balance in nature.






'Social and Cultural' seat
Made of all sorts of recycled textiles and a garden post,
these seats look at the harmonizing of our cultural ways,
through hand stitched pattern and the Yinyang shape.
