Each day brings with it some new green surprise. It is indeed a delight to see the number of ways the human mind can devise to work around Mother Nature without hurting her or lowering our style of life. Welcome Zweitsinn, a German word that means a second meaning. Well, an eco-friendly effort too goes by the same name that is actually a collective formed by many waste companies, designers and small German manufacturers all supported by the University Dortmund and a government foundation called DBU. And must we add, their work is true to their name.
Zweitsinn endeavors to make products, please read ‘furniture’, only out of recycled goods. If you visit their official website, you can learn the actual figures of the CO2 they have managed to save during production, without compromising on style or design. Trust us, you will be impressed.
The Zweitsinn project earned international recognition at the Colognes IMM 2009, where some of the furniture pieces were exhibited. We liked their retro inspiration that was more than evident in the massive wood pieces and integrated flower boxes. The cushion sofas are awesome!
