Upcycling is just a fancy new word used by modern designers to describe eh process of using waste materials to make something of superior value. It’s basically recycling but only with better results. LA-based furniture designer Michael Yonke has made extensive use of reclaimed materials in his new line of eco-friendly and very fashionable benches and chairs that can very easily be a hallmark for any modern setup. By pairing materials reclaimed from old consumer furnitures, Yonke turns them into high-grade tables of all purposes that incorporate within them philosophies pertaining to the most intense metaphysics as well as reflections of man’s baser instincts. Available in a range of finishes and colors, the functional eco-art-designs of the collection make a remarkable statement about the fusion of the past with the present that can potentially lead to a greener and more prosperous future for all generations to come. The trendy upcycled creations of the designer can be purchased online here.
