Once a Gate: Reclaimed Timber Chair

6 by Doug Gunzelmann on June 6, 2008

Once Discarded is a design concept by Claire Danthois of the UK. She believes that the sustainability movement is in the hands of the designers. Designers often have the power and skills necessary to recreate objects of value and use from refuse … a gifted and driven portion of the population that can offer greener options for those of us willing to seek them out. Reclaimed materials, like the Once a Gate shown above as a chair, can give great depth and character to simple fixtures by way of their markings and evidence of previous life. With such products as Once a Door and Once a Ladder in her portfolio Claire has taken reclaimed timber and added a personal and artistic touch creating value and meaning to her work.  More pictures after the jump...

About the Author:

Doug is in perpetual motion and a self-proclaimed adventure junkie, that has had a longtime love affair with the great outdoors.

“I love being a part of the active world. The stuff that blows my hair back is adventure (all shapes and sizes), photography, mountaineering, Muay Thai, and seeing natural beauty in all its forms. The living earth is the framework on which I build my life and free time. My ideal trip would be BASE jumping at Sotano de Las Golandrinas in Mexico (closest I could come to skydiving through the jungle!). I work towards keeping it real, green, and healthy. ”

Doug is the co-founder of LiveOAK, although he says he didn’t know what a blog was until a couple months after he started.

    I was just seeking this info for a while. After six hours of continuous Googleing, finally I got it in your web site. I wonder what’s the lack of Google strategy that do not rank this type of informative websites in top of the list. Usually the top websites are full of garbage.
