“Office Decorated With a Refurbished Vintage 1960s Fighter Plane by Amanda Sengstacken, 04/04/11
REUSE IN A BIG WAY! – “When Adam Kushner, principle of design firm KUSHNER Studios, set about designing a creative office environment, he thought big – really big. He and his team hauled in a vintage 1960s MiG fighter plane and refurbished it on-site, creating the ultimate thinking spot (and company mascot). The plane now acts as an important part of Mr. Kushner’s personal office, and may be the most unusual re-use of a fighter plane to date!” Inhabitat
A stunning studio house clad in used tomato can tiles? Imagination!
Bariloche-based designer Manuel Rapoport has built himself a stunning studio house clad in used tomato can tiles in the midst of Patagonia’s dense wilderness. The shiny house was built with tins leftover from local bars and restaurants, which are preserved with a protective coat of varnish every 6 years. “Manu”, the designer-maker, has always been interested in recycling and the use of readily available resources – he says “I don’t need to use titanium to have my very own Guggenheim, I can use tomato tins.” SEE MORE PHOTOS
