8 Modern Furniture Pieces Made From Recycled Materials
For contemporary design studios, and especially designers, the environmental impact of furniture is top of the mind. Nearly every studio has policies and every designer has standards that dictate the way their furniture is produced and delivered. And more often than not, the process starts with the very materials they use for the pieces themselves. From plastics to fibers, modern furniture is crafted from a variety of recycled materials that keep our planet—and everyone on it—a little healthier. Here are 8 modern furniture pieces made from recycled materials that can be found in the HORNE collection.
Under The Bell Pendant
Making both a visual and environmental impact, the large Under The Bell Pendant light is crafted from a material that is 41% recycled water bottles.
