Bike Furniture Design

While surfing the internet this weekend I stumbled upon this very cool furniture website that I wanted to share with you: Bike Furniture Design based out of Michigan. Their furniture is made of recycled bicycles that they turn into beautiful modern designs.

From the Bike Furniture Design Website (http://www.bikefurniture.com/):
Bike Furniture Design is a design and manufacturing studio specializing in contemporary, modern furniture made primarily from recycled steel and aluminum bicycle rims, handlebars, and frames.
Working within the vernacular of classic modern furniture design, BFD founder Andy Gregg has continued to refine this comfortable and durable furniture since 1990.
Since the original Bike Chair, Bike Furniture Designs have grown to include a wide-ranging collection of high-quality tables, bar stools, loveseats, and more chairs. Some designs, in addition to utilizing the bicycle, also utilize components from other transportation industries.
These designs use train and automobile windows for tabletops, and surplus automotive seat-belt webbing for seating upholstery.
Bike Furniture upholstery options are unlimited. Some options include leather, rubber, cork, clear and colored acrylic, and vinyl.
BFD founder/primary designer Andy Gregg has been influenced by his years spent in bike shops, and on bikes.
Bike Furniture Design World Headquarters is located in the mountain biking, and nordic skiing mecca Marquette, Michigan, on the shores of Lake Superior.
