Design Sofa

Design Sofa

1. Bath couch Take one vintage roll top bath, cut in half, adorn with fabric and cushioning and what have you got? A new sofa for the living room. The Max bath tub chaise like the Mofa (made from recycled car seats) demonstrates the sustainable design mantra perfectly. The seat pad can be upholstered in a fabric of your choice.
2. Belt upMade from reclaimed, end of the line seat belts, only the floral detailing sections are made new on this Seat Belt Cushion. There aren't even any zips. Filled with duck down, they are made in the UK, so they've got a low transport footprint as well.
3. Good bacteria Made out of recycled yoghurt pots, these cream coasters give new life to those discarded tubs (they rinse them first, of course) and are a friendly addition to any evening's entertaining.
4. Old news Store old newspapers in old newspapers. This recycled newspaper magazine rack is made of newsprint that would otherwise have been thrown away, and makes a great set with its coordinating bin to match. Read all about it.
5. IB Pop Chair: Perky, fresh and durable, the IB Pop Chair is made from a single sheet of recycled polypropylene, and the legs are constructed of anodised aluminium, making it super hard-wearing. Being of single-sheeet construction, it is easy to recycle again too. What goes around comes around.
6. Swinging days A contemporary design take on those car tyre swings you may remember from sunny days in the park. This recycled tyre horse swing actually takes its main component from an aeroplane tyre. Great for the coming summer months, hang it from a garden tree and keep kids amused for hours.
7. Plastic is not rough Something old, something new. Just because it's recycled, doesn't mean it can't be pretty. This traditional window box is easy to assemble and looks classy beneath any window sill. And because it's not metal, it will never rust.
8. Record collector Fed up with old LPs lying around that you never listen to? Get an eyeful of this playful recycled bowl which has put them to good use. The original record label sits intact in the centre while the side ridges make this a fab alternative to the mundane fruit bowl. Pick from Abba, Neil Young or Eric Clapton, but be snappy - there's only one of each.
9. Kid rock Re-create the cinema experience at home with this bold cinema-seat-turned-rocking-chair from Derbyshire designer, Guy Arzi. Original and handmade, this is a design must for eco attention-seekers.
10. Make a splash Made from 1970s charity-shop materials (duvet covers, curtains and table cloths), this Golden Splash recycled cushion comes from a Mancunian designer who loves re-using fabric. A decorative piece that would sit comfortably on any couch or bed, the 1970s looks set to make an attractive re-appearance.
