Upcycled furniture in RCERO

Ljubljana

A conference table made from bicycle rims,

chandeliers crafted from recycled beer bottles

and old table lamps, bicycle handlebars converted

into coat hangers, old bathtubs transformed into

comfortable garden furniture …

Ljubljana is made out of waste items and materials

that artists and craftsmen have cleverly turned

into something new. Using upcycled and reused

furniture, Snaga Ljubljana has not only shown

its support for sustainable consumption but also

WAITING ROOM

The main pieces of furniture in the common room

backrests and old chair seats. The designers selected

usable parts from some damaged chairs among the

bulky waste and ingeniously converted them into

benches, thereby giving them renewed purpose.

PHOTO STORY

Director’s

boardroom

table

The impressive table with

a central detail made from

old bicycle rims of different

sizes and the peculiar celling

installation made from old

table lights are yet more

fantastic examples of a

perfect symbiosis between

old and new.

BOARDROOM

Walls papered in newsprint,

old chairs covered in old

newspapers and a lectern

made from an old metal

barrel. These unique features

of the main boardroom show

that reused items can indeed

be attractive and useful.
