Recycled Leather

http://www.ecodomo.com/about.html

Leather is a material we come into contact with on a daily basis. It may be through shoes, handbags, belts and other wearable items, or through furniture upholstered in leather.

Perhaps leather is sustainable, at least in terms of it being a natural material that is somewhat renewable. Recycled leather seems like an odd idea from a textural standpoint, but Ecodomo recycled leather tiles are an interesting reuse that still has the look and feel of the original. Read more:

http://3rings.designerpages.com/2010/04/07/blinded-gruba-design-studios-upcycled-furniture/#ixzz0ltGP0yaf

Gruba, an Argentinian design studio has come up with an interesting take on upcycled furniture. At first glance, the sofa chair looks like a shapely lounge piece with a comfy curve made of wood slats. Upon closer investigation, it turns out the wood slats are in fact recycled wood blinds that have been painted and wrapped around a reconstituted wood frame. The chair reminds me of the Mod Rocker by Igloo Play, which is a curvaceous rocking chair for kids made from molded plywood.

Call it what you will—convertible, hide-a-way, couch-bed—but this ever practical object transforms from a place to sit to a place to sleep. Lovely in theory, yes; often painful in reality. Not for the inventive Swiss industrial designer Adrien Rovero, whose //Slash Sofa for Campeggi uses upholstered blocks to accommodate the needs of the human form: “The idea of //Slash comes from the quick and visible transformation of a sofa into a bed inspired by the foldable simple mattress. From this known foldable principle, the concept is push to the extreme in term of comfort and uses by including slats.”

Gaggenau, the high quality kitchen appliance brand from Germany, has a VL051 Telescopic Swivel Ventilator that provides a present-day solution to the age-old ventilation problem that does not relegate you to a basement kitchen.

However, to meet any height preference, there is a control knob that allows for total control.The VL051 can rotate 90 degrees, and after its done, the arm centers itself and retracts into the cooktop automatically. Tech-savvy cooks can appreciate two sensors that detect if there is anything in the way while it descends into the stove and when its grease trap needs cleaning.
