SITTING COKE
The almighty coke can. Influenced everything from the art movement to advertising genius. Here's another reason why we love it so much. Emeco makes it into a chair using 111 bottles and combined pigment and glass fiber into it for sturdiness. The Coke chair. Welcome to the future.

SAVED BY DROOG
The slickest and smartest curated pieces have been snapped up by the design super agency DROOG. Many bankrupted companies products were snapped up through liquidation sales. Saved by Droog at the Milan Furniture Fair features 5135 items reworked into the latest. Featuring wallets, matches, spoons, pots, cola glasses, handkerchiefs and more. All are ready for purchase on their site along with 19 Limited edition's. Even the works of Maison Martin Margiela, Atelier Ted Van Noten, Studio Makkink and Stefan Sagmeister have been resurrected by Droog. We say this is one of the best!

CHOP SEAT
Just like the SIT PROJECT we previously blogged about, these street installations by Arno Piraud caught our attention. Trees that were diseased and cut down gave way to mini seats in the city. His Cityscape project proposal highlight the use of design amongst urban spaces, we like it very much.

CHROMA LAB
They make house calls. Free design and consultation - they pick up old furniture and recreate them into awesome new pieces. (Apparently they like road trips)
Encouraging you to reuse that item you though you were going to chuck out :-) "The greenest piece of furniture is one that already exists" - CHROMA LAB
DISPOSABLE
Selected by Zaha Hadid at the Noise festival last year, this "Clutch Chair" represents our disposable culture. Made from 10,000 drinking straws.

The afterlife of cassette tapes. Originally meant to be an office space divider, turned cabinet. Now for sale. Nice one.
