Upcycling: Re-imagining Our Waste: Upcycled Furniture
One of the most functional applications of upcycling lies in the production of furniture. With so much stuff in the world it makes sense to put some of it together untill you can sit on it or eat off of it. This idea is expanded on and represented in many ways as some make high end, art/furniture aimed at the collector, and others nail together pallets to make lawn furniture. Whatever style suits your mood, in here you will find plenty of upcycled wonders.
