Sultan : A Pop-Up Bar Formed From Recycled IKEA-Mattress #ArtTuesday #Recycle
Via DeZeen:
The challenge was to experiment with how reusable or recycled materials could be used to create more sustainable architecture.
The designers hoped to make a statement about “mindless consumerism”. They wanted to highlight the issues in an economic system where it is cheaper and easier to buy new products rather than to recycle old ones.
The project is named Sultan, like the mattress, and repurposes its metal springs, foam stuffing and fabric. These form multilayered, textured walls for the double-height, timber-framed structure.
