Pretty Cool Recycled Paper Furniture

Jens Praet is another pretty cool designer with an environment bent. After looking at the Bentley car, we did some more research on environmental designs that we think are cool and innovative. This cool Belgian designer has done some great cool furniture.

All this range of his cool furniture is made completely of recycled, shredded paper. We are not exactly sure what was used to form and shape it, as well as the binding material, but claims it is just as strong as wood.

We think that this idea for furniture would be a great way for businesses to recycle their shredded paper, by turning it into pretty cool office furniture. It would definitely give your business an edge in the design stakes, as well as helping the environment.

Cool Car – Bentley Electric Car

Its pretty cool to see a massive luxury car maker get serious about the environment. This young team chosen by Bentley have built a concept electric car. Its mainly being used for racing at the moment, obviously with no real plans yet to move it into full scale production – it doesn’t really look like your typical Bentley.

What is pretty cool about this electric car is its specs. The car uses carbon fibre as its main chassis material, as it is both light and strong this will help to keep the car competitive in its racing. An interesting side point was that its budget was initially 5000 pounds, but it ballooned to an enormous 80,000!

How cool would it be to be part of this design team! Our Yeah its Pretty Cool designer would’ve loved the oppotunity to be a part of this project. We think its a testiment to true design by building a cool car that is actually beneficial to the environment. That is what makes this design so cool.
