Eco Mantra: From scrap to an awesome piece of art

Brooklyn’s 3rd Ward, a New York City-based creative space for artists and versatile people, is well renowned for its contribution in designing objects that depict creativity and sustainability. It provides courses where students can learn the basic concepts for creating useful things from recycled and found materials for little or no investment. Here is a very interesting and innovative table made from some crappy material.

This awesome table is made by using three bent bicycle forks, a bicycle wheel and two varied sized pieces of plexiglass. The crystal clear plexiglass makes the beautiful top of the table, which rests on the center bolt, and plastic spacers are placed around the rim in order to give it excellent support. The smaller plexiglass is placed underneath the wheel, which is responsible for anchoring it to the legs – the three bike forks. The three bicycle forks that play the most important role of holding the entire stuff on itself are of the same size. The final product, I mean the amazing table, is just the perfect thing to place your mug and sip that morning coffee.
