Eco chic is a term that is being increasingly used in the media and fashion magazines. Eco chic is the combination of style and living green. And while following fashion is never cheap buying green clothes doesn’t have to be expensive.
my certificate for sustainable design at MCAD I had to propose an office of the future with a minimal ecological footprint. That’s how I stumbled upon Rodrigo Alonso’s stools and recycling bins made from post-consumer recycled plastic. As mentioned before it’s difficult to find modern recycling bins that are actually recycled. I’m glad I discovered one as cool looking as this one. The Chilean designer Rodrigo Alonso created his 100% recycled furniture from plastic waste found in toys, drink trays, stadium seats or even electronic devices. These waste materials were then transformed through a rotomoulding technique into useful objects such as eco-modern stools or recycling bins. At the end of the product’s useful life it can be re-crushed and re-rotomoulded again. I love that part.eco-chic furniture, eco-chic office, eco-modern furniture, eco-modern recycling bin, eco-modern stool, future forward office, green recycling bin, modern eco-furniture, recycled stool, recycled trash bin, Rodrigo Alonso, rotomoulding, sustainable furniture, sustainable office Rodrigo Alonso’s 100% recycled plastic furniture was designed for the urban equipment company Fahneu in Santiago de Chile. But I can easily see his eco-modern furniture at outdoor areas of industrial or urban parks or at cool office spaces and atriums. They certainly make a bold sustainable statement with their irregular polyhedral shapes. I’m also very impressed by his latest fair-trade and social design project ARMO shoes but I’ll save this for a later post. Stay tuned.
