Recycled Chair from white oak wood from French wine barrels

green — Tue, 04 May 2010 04:04:40 +0000

One of a kind and hand crafted from used oak wine barrels. Apparently the chemical properties of the oak itself affect the color, flavor, and texture of the wine in the wine-making process. Over time many of the oak properties get “leached” out of the barrel and after 3 to 5 vintages the barrel is ready to be discarded. Stil Novo Design steps in and turns this unfortunate waste into many beautiful ‘green’ idea. Old world integrity at its finest.

$395.00 for the Green Chair and $185.00 for the stool at Stil Novo Design’s Etsy Shop
