The '2 Stools from 1 Bicycle' project has been designed by Hyemin Kim as an upcycled furniture solution that makes use of an unlikely series of components to give them a new lease on life. The stools are achieved from the use of a single bicycle frame that has been separated and transformed into a three-legged variety as well as a four-legged one to boot. A simple seat section has been positioned onto the top to finish the stools off as a comfortable yet industrial furniture solution for the home or office.
The '2 Stools from 1 Bicycle' project identifies what can be done to keep items out of the landfill and reduce reliance on virgin decor options.
