Not only do I WANT this ( I really want this! ) I want the house that this would look great in. I want to kick my feet up on this otttoman in my big colorful flip flop house! Made from unworn, overstocked flip-flop sandals. In addition to keeping industrial leftovers out of landfills, this design is manufactured by social organizations that provide work for otherwise unemployed craftspeople from the local community in Brazil.
