Urban Renewal Furniture: Innovative, Sustainable Solutions

How’s this for creative thinking: two design students at Syracuse University are creating furniture from common items like street barricades simply by rearranging some nails. Jeffrey Gerlach and Andrew Stanley combine their passion for design with sustainability to create a range of projects centered around urban design and DIY.

From Design Milk:

This is our DPW ADK furniture — born from a spontaneous need and evolved from a simple vision the department of public worth Adirondack chair is true upcycling a modern and sustainable take on the classic Adirondack chair all that is needed is the rearranging of some nails when we don’t have much we make much more of what we have now go show your public worth…

I could definitely see this kind of thing catching on in urban gardens. After all, Adirondack chairs can be crazy expensive – and why use virgin wood when you could give a previously used object a new life?
