Sawdust Scrap Recyclable Stools

Renaud Defrancesco Designs the Briket Stool for Firewood

— May 23, 2024 — Art & Design
Renaud Defrancesco designs the Briket stool, which is highlighted by its sustainable build and look. It appears to have the look resembling cork materials but it can actually be used like firewood. It can heat up a space with a focus on its texture and beauty.

The biodegradable material is also renewable and when the wooded material is used, lots of sawdust gets left on the floor and becomes pollutants itself. The Brikey solves this waste issue by bringing new life to the product. It rests on a base of nine legs and it is all made from sawdust scraps along with a blend of potato scraps as well -- both of these are eco-friendly as it is tossed out often.
