Landfill to Living Space is a thought-provoking piece of furniture that makes use of almost everything that is worth recycling. The innovative, sustainable working home furniture – conceived by a New Castle-based industrial designer Claudel Arguin – is made from reused bicycle frames, pipes, reused industrial safety netting, scrapile, reclaimed exhaust pipes and hoses from car’s engines.

Aside from being a crafty piece of furniture, it stores newspapers and serves as a planter as well. The exhaust pipes are re-molded to create a vermiculated plant feeder that holds the plant at a constant level in the water. While one of the reused hoses supply water to the hydroponic unit from the tank, the other regulates the level of water in the exhaust pipe.
