Recycled Rubber Stool From h220430
Rubber as a material for high end furniture hardly aspires confidence but that is certainly not the case with the Rubber Stool. Designed by Japanese studio h220430, the stool has been made entirely of recycled rubber and no you won’t be subjected to the smells of burnt tires. There is also no doubt that rubber as a material also brings to the vanguard a rare flexibility which is displayed clearly in the Rubber Stool. The stool can be shaped or bended in any shape and when not in use can just be rolled up to save space. The Rubber Stool demonstrates how intelligent design and radical thinking is seeping in the consumer market as well and recycling is not just a trend and is gaining a strong foothold in every aspect of design.
