Bath and Beyond Recycled Tub Chair

3 by Doug Gunzelmann on August 26, 2008

bath and beyond

This upcycled find is yet another variation on a theme…find trash, reshape it, and sit on it. From Reddish Studio the Bath and Beyond chair is made from cutting an old tub in two, folding and riveting the arm rests in place, and adding some legs. This chair is of course half art, half concept, yet fully functional. Often our readers question the greenness of designer furniture or art that we feature. Our goal is to present new concepts and striking imagery to feed creativity in our everyday lives. So that hopefully, the next time you throw out and old tub, sink, sweater, rug, whatever you can say “Hey, maybe I can make something from this.” In Reddish Studio words you can, “make an object feel better about themselves.”

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.

    Now my question .. is this a comfortable chair or they just built it for the sake of recycling?
