This eco-friendly ottoman by designer Karin Wittmann is made from 100% industrial left over flip flops. The material for Miss Rio was used as is with no further manufacturing before it was put to use in this colorful piece of furniture. Hailing from Brazil, the Miss Rio is manufactured by social organizations that provide work for otherwise unemployed craftspeople from the local community.” Durable enough for the outdoors this oversize Koosh Ball is a great example of upcycled waste. Now if we could figure out a way to use toxic sewage in such a fun way.
