Coffin Couches by Lost At E Minor
Is it green? Is it funny? Is it Halloween? Or is it just a bad luck? I actually think Coffin Couches are super smart and stylish and would not mind getting one of these beautiful couches next time I move to a new apartment. They are made of recycled (but unused) coffins, after all.
Coffin Couches start at $3,500 and are available in a variety of colors and materials (including cow hide) or customized by contacting the manufacturer (info [at] coffincouches [dot] com).

Touch NY
Almost all of the 14 artists and studios invited to be part of the Touch Design recycled-materials exhibit of products happening this weekend in NYC are Latin American, most notably Brazilian—something that could indicate where the pioneering trends in this area are coming from in the near future. Besides Estúdio Manus and Domingos Tótora (two names that have been getting more press recently) other...

Raeburn Design
Christopher Raeburn cleverly constructs high-end street wear from re-deployed parachutes and military fabrics. Sourced from uniforms of specific countries and vintages, Raeburn creates elegant pieces of clothing in stark contrast to the combat-ready materials from which they were made. We especially like the Parachute Jacket (pictured) for its breezy look. Using mainly recycled materials, these ethically-correct garments are produced in England. The outerwear features...

Adam Goodrum: Stitch Chair
Thanks to Adam Goodrum's Stitch Chair, we no longer have to choose furniture that fits over what we would actually like to have in our homes. And thanks to Cappellini, having recently added Stitch to its roster, it's now available in wider distribution. The cleverness of the chair come from a nontraditional approach to folding, the result of the Australian industrial designer's goal of...

Clous: Urban Seating Element
Addressing the lack of places to rest one's feet in the modern metropolis, French designer Francois Bauchet seems to, ahem, have hit the nail on the head with a new urban seating element recently installed in front of the Saint-Etienne rail station in southern France. Named Clous, French for nail, the form of the design makes a playful reference to the utilitarian object, providing a...
