Recycled Silk Chair, Ottoman and Stool by MEB RURE

The best thing about white walls and not-so-colorful interiors is that these are the best spaces in which vibrant colors can be introduced freely, without worrying about coordinating them with other permanent features. This Meb Rure design is an ideal addition to such spaces as it brings with it colors and form that are sure to grab your attention.

Meb Rure’s recycled ecological furniture series includes a chair, an ottoman and a stool made of American white oak. The construction is practical, allowing for convenient transportation since the legs can be easily disassembled and assembled, single handedly. This feature also reduces its carbon footprint.

Its wooden structure is cushioned with sponge balls that’s are covered with colorful recycled silk yarn from Nepal. The use of recycled silk yarn is visually its most attractive ecological feature.
This design is an inspiring DIY project for those who love making things at home. Similar silk balls can be sewed together to make a comfortable floor mat for kids or as additional accents in your spaces.
