No matter what part of the world that you live in, you will always find these crates. In some cases they are found discarded at the side of a road, or occasionally they can be found floating in the local river.

Which probably why some people have some really great ideas, like these they have all been produced by using the plastic grates and because they are both light and strong, they can be reused for furniture and even a chandelier, matching colours are optional and in some cases preferable.

If this item had no pictures you may find it hard to comprehend that furniture can be made from materials that you would have thought to be too weak to cope, but these images defy all that logical and just go to prove that not everything has to be made in accordance to normal thinking.

These pieces of furniture have been designed and produced by Yasmin Sethi from the UK. She has used tightly rolled newspapers to give this set a look and functional appearance which is probably not really seen in any other style of furniture.

This is part of her foundation course in art and design, but if they ever did get into the stores, do you think that you may be able to choose which newspapers make up your furniture?

As their namesake implies, eco-friendly furniture can really be Precious Pieces. This company uses the ancient technique of making washi papers. This technique utilizes sustainable and biodegradable ingredients to create one-of-a-kind parchment, which Precious Pieces then forms into unique, aesthetically pleasing lighting. The best part is that a majority of the concepts and design is based on innovative ideas negating the use of expensive raw materials.

Check out these awesome lanterns! Just by using seemingly plain materials such as washi or parchment paper, you will be amazed at what creative, fun, and beautiful furniture pieces and accessories you can create!

The centuries old process of creating handmade washi papers is a testament to the fact that sustainable and biodegradable materials are often rooted in honored traditions and indigenous practices. We loved the voluminous, geometric lanterns that Precious Papers had on display, and we were even more intrigued by the possibilities for using their eco-parchment in both architectural and interior design projects.

Wow, here’s a way to recycle newspaper into functional well-designed foldable benches.

Kaisin took regular newspapers, layered, glued and compressed them to create a building material that is as strong as wood.  He then took these sheets and mimicked one of natures strongest forms, the honeycomb, to create this amazing expandable bench.

If you want something different in your home that has eco-friendly ideas to boot, check out these Brando Firefly Jars to set the mood in that direction. They are made of great looking small jars and powered by solar powered lamps.

Its orange glow is something to behold and will certainly do more than just light up the room in a hurry.

A non-USB product from Brando, and one that’s surprisingly cute? Good grief, I nearly fell off my keyboard. These Firefly jars are solar-powered, charging up during the day and adding a simulated bioluminescent insect-ass glow to wherever you pop them at night. The kitchen worktop, perhaps—perfect for lighting your way to that midnight snack. Standing 6.2-inches high, they glow in orange, but are they more eco-friendly than trapping a real firefly in a jar? Probably not… but at least its kinder to animals. Available now for $45.
