Bourbon Barrel Chair by Uhuru
Brooklyn-based Uhuru Design has taken used Bourbon Barrels – which normally find second lives as planters or fire wood – and up-cycled them into furniture. Now, if taking what’s essentially been considered trash in the past and re-purposing it into high-end, expensive furniture isn’t the work of a true ninja, I just don’t know what is.
Dubbed The Küpe line, after the middle Dutch word KUPE – the origin of the word “cooper,†which is the profession of making staved wooden vessels including barrels – the series currently includes chairs, benches, side table, coffee table, ad mirrors. Not bad.

About WalterWorks
Walter Raes comes from an artistic family in St Niklaas in Belgium and moved to London in 1989.
After living in the UK, he observed, “I think that what is thrown away in London and around the world is criminal; it’s from these consumer society throw-outs, that I make my designs.”
For the last 6 years, Walter’s obsession has been creating WEARABLE & DESIGN ART entirely from household and industrial materials, frequently recycled from skips. His artistry is totally inspired by these rejects. In short, he takes the disposable remnants of our everyday lives to create his brilliant pieces, explorations in form and function.
