How beautiful is the ‘snowjob’ chair designed by emiliano godoy? Not only is it an amazing piece of modern yet handmade design, it is probably one of the most environmentally friendly pieces of furniture you will ever find. The wood frame is manufactured in FSC certified wood with a vegetable based, biodegradable finish. Fair trade employed artists in impoverished nations weave and fold post-industrial waste from the candy wrapping industry to create the incredible silver cover. Such a stunning chair with a wonderful message of environmental and social consciousness as well as seeing one person’s trash as your next great project.

Serendipitous that I come upon this chair the same day I’ve been researching the do’s and don’ts of recycling! It’s a perfect example of how to reuse material that usually isn’t recycled at all….#7. If it’s safe for kids, I bet it would make an amazing teaching project both in learning the task and bringing home the point of recycling.
