Inflatable Furniture From Recycled Inner Tubes

7 by Doug Gunzelmann on August 4, 2008

recycool

Recycoool is the name given to this almost ant-body-esque inflatable furniture design by Nir Ohayon of Israel. The bulging car inner tubes are inserted through and around the metal tube framework and inflated to fill out the shape. Nir has created tables, recliners, sofas, shelving, and benches in this manner with easily accessible, cheap, and recycled materials. The intention was to design a chair for under one hundred dollars so the the average person could enjoy this unique and appealing decor. Nir hand crafts his furniture and has given them names such as The Big Yogi, Nirvana, Master, Plata, and Golam. Recycoool will custom make furniture if you contact Nir via his website. Check out his work 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.
