American sculptor Colin Selig has been transforming old propane tanks into impressive sleek benches. These unusual looking seating creations come in a variety of colors and styles. Selig's benches introduce a crafty, creative way to recycle these otherwise ugly tanks.
The shapes of these intriguing bench designs definitely vary. One of these fantastic propane park benches is fire engine red and really resembles a pair of lips. Looking at it, it's hard to believe it was ever a propane tank at all. Another of Selig's incredible propane tank creations has a yellowish color to it and looks a lot like a set of large bunny ears. A few of these interesting recycled seating creations still vaguely resemble propane tanks in a way, but they look amazing and make for a more interesting bench.
These fantastic propane tank benches by sculptor Colin Selig are stunning, useful and cleverly designed.
