A sampling of cute, not too crunchy, furnishings and accessories that repurpose magazines and newspapers.
The Pulp Bulletin Board from Uncommon Goods
allows you to slot memos in between the magazine edges or rock a traditional
push pin. Designed by Adin Mumma and retails for
US$20. Modern Furniture's Recycled Magazine Wall Mirror is chic and one of a kind, crafted by artisans in Indonesia. Hate to send you here, but since it's out of stock, you can find a similar product at WalMart that retails for US$38.88. This Translations Wastebasket courtesy of The Container Store is kitschy chic. Let's also be clear that the fact that it's repurposed from Japanese magazines makes it super cute. US$24.99 and found in the Earth Friendly Organization section. Finally, made from recycled newsprint these Recycled Newsprint Pencils from the MoMA store's Destination : Seoul collection. Designed by Hyunjung Park these pencils (US$5 for non-members) are part of a MoMA-exclusive collection highlighting designers from South Korea.
The Bulletin Board is a great idea for the office. I think you can definitely pull it off. As a matter a fact I'm going to do one right now for home. =D
