Old Plastic Roller Blinds Become A Chair

Tenenbaum Hazan created a chair out of a most unexpected material: old roller blinds. The TRIS chair is made from plastic roller blinds that, according to the designers, in Israel have no economical profitability in its recycling processes, as they’re now being replaced with aluminum roller blinds. To preserve and reuse the materials, they’ve designed a closed wooden structure in which the blinds are held.

Monsieur Lamp

Spanish design brand Almerich has collaborated with Barcelona-based designers Tom Allen , Christian Vivanco and Yago Rodriguez on a new reading lamp called Monsieur. Connecting the reader, the light and the book, the designers researched the strong emotional connection between the user and the intimate experience of reading. I like that between the name of the lamp and the design, it almost looks and acts like a butler, catering to your every reading need.

Made Out Portugal

It never ceases to amaze me how many awesome international design collectives there are out there to help boost the careers of young designers. I feel like they’re more popular in the UK and Europe. I get excited when I see new international design from lots of talent all in one place — this is why I blog. Thus, when I got an email from Made Out Portugal I was overjoyed. Made Out Portugal is a design platform for Portuguese designers working outside of Portugal that acts like a collective rather than a brand
