Unlike the popular belief, recycling can be a whole bagful of fun. In fact, lately we have come across several examples of recycling that burst the bubble of the aforementioned myth. Take the case of classic Vespa scooters for example. We have witnessed how the scraps of old autombiles have been used to contribute majorly to a green lifestyle. In fact, recycled bike furniture as well as the reuse of aircraft parts to make real stylish chairs and tables have all been greatly appreciated.
Well, this furniture range just got wider with the vintage Vespa scooters adding their own special charm. The Spanish design studio, Bel & Bel has taken up the task of converting the discarded Vespa scooters and into real cool office furniture.

Most lounge chairs are driven by the human tendency for escapism, and by that loic the new P38 Chair from Owen Edwards is no different. Yet, we are quite taken by the creativity of this fresh furniture design graduate who has given us a great way to curl up like a baby and forget all our worries of the world. That is just what the rocker-shaped P38 chair lets you do thanks to its all ergonomic interiors.
The cocoon shape that appeals to our modern interior decoration sensibilities has been painted in high quality white gloss paint (the one that is used on cars) while the interiors have been done in black leather. The contrast is aesthetically very pleasing.

Lounging is a favorite leisure activity with many of us. Perhaps that is one reason why researchers and developers never really let go of an opportunity to incorporate new advancements in the already existing piece of furniture that we lovingly call the lounge. SMART Lounge is one such relaxation system that is based on a non-medical vibration system which provides audio and tactile stimulation to the mind and body.
Technology like Vibroacoustics (it is related to hearing sound vibrations through the body) has been used in the SMART Lounge to relax your mind and body into a meditative state. This results in a decreased muscle tension, lowered heart rate and blood pressure as well as brings about a deeper breathing pattern that calms you sense and keeps you in a good mood.

Arne Jacobsen has designed limited edition Shearling Swan Chair which looks more chic than luxurious. The chair does not exactly look comfortable and hence may not feel luxurious. However, the chair looks outlandish and if impressing your visitors and making your living space look good was your priority, you must go ahead and get this chair before the stocks are out.
The chair’s exterior is made of an awesome Kiwi lamb that is curly and smooth at the same time. It also has a suede look which reminds you of the modernist era. It is being offered specially by Suite New York and there is no price listed. When the price is not listed, you can take it for granted that it is going to be more expensive than hell.
