Claire Danthois has come up with a brilliant way to recycle old doors. The Once a Door chaise longue is just one in a series of transformed furniture made from old ladders, bed and gates.

The spine-like vertebrae of the wood fits perfectly to your back, so it’s comfortable as well as cool!
This ultra cool and super eco-friendly hammock is made from recycled, reject seatbelts. The seatbelts are “rejects” because they are either slightly off-color or fail their break test. It can hold two people easily and comes in three colours - including bizarre green and safety orange! What a great idea for an unusual material!
Handmade in Northern Thailand, the “S” Accent Chair is made of one of the best renewable materials (and one of my personal favorites - bamboo. Strips of this beautifully finished sustainable wood come together in a gorgeously simple fluid form to create the unique S chair. With its dark finish and sculptural contours, this chair will look great in any room. I always love bamboo pieces, but its the deep rich finish on this chair that really pulls it together for me. Beautiful.

Leftover foam rubber from the mass production of flip flop sandals is used to make these wonderful colorful and durable doormats. The Flip Flop Mats are each made by hand using galvanized metal wire. Of course, the nature of recycling dictates that the patterns and colors are going to be different on each mat. The recycled doormats can be used for doormats, bathmats, children’s play mats, or area rugs. Another amazing eco-friendly design idea! Also check out these Flip Flop Storage Bins!
As a movie geek and a green product fan, this new messenger bag is appealing to me on every level. When a new films has finished its theater run, the posters and billboards are usually just thrown away. This idea diverts those vinyl posters from a landfill grave by recycling them into sturdy and waterproof bags. The colors and graphics are super cool and vivid. Each and every messenger bag is one-of-a-kind and lined and edged with cotton. You can even pick which movie you want! What an awesome idea for a messenger bag!

You could (if you wanted to) stomp all over this ThrashCan and it would just bounce back. This clever waste container will accommodate the standard plastic grocery bags or 8 gallon liners.
