Cornwall based sustainable furniture

I’ve got some ideas for a table made from recycled wood and maybe recycled steel. The more of the house (build, materials AND furniture) can be recycled:

  • Built in a way that can be recycled in the future
  • Be built from materials that have had a previous life

the better.

So great to come across St Austel based www.sustainable-furniture.co.uk who also have a showroom in Truro.

 

Dining Table

Posted on by

It’s a big dinning area, so it’ll need a big table.

Hopefully made from timbers reclaimed out of the original Silver Spray bungalow.

And then maybe benches or a collection of second hand chairs, that don’t match each other or the table.

Get “industrial” big metal legs / frame for the table by finding something that can be recycled to this use:
