Reused Trash Furniture

It is a project whose intention is to reuse those furniture thrown away and old pieces of garbage to give them a new life as if they were new. For this, it was necessary to search and select the material, develop a conceptual change of the furniture to finally transform it into innovative and showy pieces.

Everything that you can find in the trash containers or landfills, from old furniture, pieces, old scraps and furniture materials.

The first step was the search for old furniture or parts of it in garbage, containers and landfills.

Selecting those that could become something totally new and therefore trying to choose those furniture that are less defective and with more possibilities of combination with others to carry out a transformation process and give a totally different life to old junk.

Once the material has been selected and with a large number of pieces and furniture, its shapes and possibilities must be played with, giving rise to quick combinations without worrying about technical resolution. It is a creative process in which we must go beyond the old function of the furniture in question (a wheelchair can be converted into a coat rack or even a bed base in a dressing room) there are no limits so you have to try as many combinations as you can think of (if they are crazy better).

Finally, having already explored all the combinations that occur to you, you should select those that can be carried out, that is, those that you see most useful, functional, and complete (that can be technically developed through assemblies and that remain solid structures).

And here comes the process of working with the material, the assemblies (screws, flanges, nails, glue, lace ...) and the finishing of the new piece of furniture so that it looks like new. In my case, I developed 3 of all the combinations that you can see: The first is a metal chair that has the back of an initial wicker chair and uses adhesion to put the two pieces together. The second is the double space (dressing room and workspace) that I develop from a bed base, of course, the craziest. And finally, an armchair-drawer to store shoes that floats in the air thanks to some rods from a bed.

I hope you like it, but above all, I invite you to carry out this transformation process. Use your imagination to combine pieces of old trash and give them a totally new life!
