Whoever said that fashionable furniture for the rich and elite had to be made from the most expensive of materials from sources earlier untouched by human hands should eat their shoes in embarrassment. The world of fashion has no rules and just about anything may be considered by those who have money to spare.

Take a good look at these expensive chairs from Vaho and ask yourself if they look familiar. You’ve probably seen them before, probably sitting inside your garage before you sold it for scrap. Upholstered with leather cushions, the chairs are made from old oil drums and can now carry the now-fashionable tag of being eco friendly because they have been made from recycled materials. The barrel chair pictured on top is the Butaca Bidon and the one below is the Silla Bidon.

These trash chairs also serve to be therapeutic in effect because they can make the buyer feels as though they are doing something for the environment by buying recycled goods. Butaca Bidon costs 295 Euro and the Silla Bidon is up for 265 Euro. Of course, you have a huge choice of barrels.
