The ‘334’ Bench may not be for sale however it does make an extremely important point by emphasizing on recycling. A part of the “X days project”, the bench has been designed by Oscar Lhermitte. The designer has used three parallel bars of metal, over which are stacked 334 old newspapers and at any given time the bench can sit up to 5 people.

Are you afraid of the dark when you step outside your home? Well look no further! With the light bench, you are sure to easily make your way outside and find your way towards finding the best seat outside your home. The bench is illuminated with RGB LED technology which means you get to choose what color you like or even a changing spectrum of different hues and shades - all at your fingertips with the programmable remote control.

Now if this is not a great addition to the usually dull or standard homes, I don’t know what is. Add that new twist in your home by getting one of these benches. It is bound to be a shiner!

Bench Made out of Compressed Recycled Newspapers!

Kaisin took regular newspapers, layered, glued and compressed them to create a building material that is as strong as wood. He then took these sheets and mimicked one of natures strongest forms, the honeycomb, to create this amazing expandable bench.

Here’s a sofa that I’d buy my kids when they grow a little older.
This furniture is designed for school and public libraries (so it is sturdy!! and easy to clean) but I think I may just have to get myself a book bench or an oversize pink eraser!

Being innovative and wise towards how many things a piece of furniture can be for anyone is a good way to save on space and have a multi-tasking piece of furniture such as a transformable sofa be in your room.
The Otto bench seems like that normal sofa you will see in your living room but look a bit closer and you will be surprised at how it can instantly transform itself into a small gym assembly where weights are hidden beneath it.
This dual serving furniture is something to have for people who want a sofa and an all-in-one small gym setup. This is a good piece of furniture to have for people who make it a point to stay in shape through weight training regularly. That way, they no longer have to go to the gym and do their programmed workouts.
Recycled Bourbon Furniture

Uhuru designs has been known to come up with crazy ideas on how to conceptualized furniture from used materials and it seems that their recycled Bourbon furniture is one of them. The Bourbon Barrel Furniture can really amaze and mislead most furniture buying consumers and the art and concept that they place in their work is something that many will really like to check out and purchase for their homes today.
Uhuru will be launching a brand new line of furniture at BKLYN Designs 2008, featuring a chair, bench, table and stool, all made from reclaimed bourbon barrels.
The lines of each piece are simple and minimal, and it is the patina of the reclaimed bourbon barrel wood which gives these pieces a warmth and personality that they wouldn’t have if they were just regular virgin wood. But it isn’t just the wood which is eco-friendly in this collection. The metal frames are made from salvaged leaf springs from old trucks, and all finishes and varnishes are low VOC as well.
