Time is Money – Recycled Yen Clock

Monday, August 24th, 2009

recycled clock
The concept of this clock is pretty cool …made out of recycled Japanese yen (the 1,000, 2,000, 5,000 and 10,000 yen bills come in different colors, so it is quite colorful) However, one reviewer at Uncommon Goods
icon mentioned that it didn’t look all that special. Nice concept, though!
$40.00 at Uncommon Goodsicon (which has a lot of interesting unusual gifts, ...many of which are eco-friendly)

The top of this table is made of recycled leather ledger books. This would go well with the chairs made out of recycled tractor seats.
