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.

I’ve borrowed this photo from a blog that indicated it didn’t want to be advertized here, but I was allowed to keep the photo….

I found a better photo of Josefine Premberg’s concrete armchair at HD.SE
