In Welcome Home House we’ve seen a recent example of architects using primarily re-purposed materials in their designs of sustainable houses, and in Recycled Kitchen well known brand kitchen designers making recycled materials look, well, not recycled.

Now the same idea can also be applicable to furniture. At least designer Jo Meesters thinks so and designed an experimental line of furniture crafted out of discarded wood beams and leftover blankets.

The furniture, Odds & Ends Bits & Pieces is the first work of TESTLAB, an ongoing experimental design bureau for combining different materials and techniques for mass production.

Before you conclude OEBP isn’t for you, consider that the look of the same design could take on a whole new dimension just based on using different colors of blankets (or a different style of weaving).

If Gordon Gecko was a furniture designer he would have said, “experimentation is good,” and we’d have to agree. The real purpose of Odds & Ends Bits & Pieces is to show just how much is possible, and what could be done with existing materials we currently place little or no value on anymore.
