Recycled Furniture Ideas 2020
It’s nice to be nice. It’s nice to be nice to the earth, and today’s roundup of traditional furniture made from recycled materials is a testament to the fact that there’s always a new way to be thoughtful when you apply a little creativity to a problem that needs solving.
This collection is beyond resourceful; it’s inspiring. Although a few of today’s entries are things we could never make ourselves, does anyone have access to whiskey barrel staves and enough metalworking skill to pull off the chair below, for instance? Others are actually rather accessible.
The glass decanter pendant lights could also translate into a do-it-yourself project with wine bottles and an LED light kit from the local hardware store. With starting points like these, the options are endless, just like the far-reaching effects we can have on the environment when we apply a little extra thoughtfulness.
Newspaper Lamp
Although we could not find a lamp made of newspaper we came across this great idea.
Desk Made Of Briefcases
No chance of finding anything like this as it is rare and very unusual. Here though is a great idea for those who work on the move. A car desk that comes as standard or for those needing more, with a built in power adapter.
- Made in the USA and has a slide out arm that extends the work tray another 23 from the edge of the desk, providing an extra long reach over to the mobile worker for an ergonomic solution.
- The tray comes with a non-slip pad, providing extra security so the laptop or tablet with keyboard wont move around while working.
- Keep all of your valuables safe with the hidden storage space located beneath the desk work surface.
- With 2 AC (standard household plugs) and 2 USB ports on the built-in inverter, you can keep all of your portable devices powered, allowing you to work all day in the vehicle
- Beautiful mahogany finish for a professional look that complements your car interior

Lamp Made From Motorcycle Parts
Another stunning design and one that could easily be made by those who own a large garage business. Unique as in this and most cases the parts will come direct from the bike. As we can see in the lamp above there is a polished shock absorber and what looks like a metal cam chain tool.
- Handmade in America, with real reclaimed heavy gears, gas pipe and welded round bar.
- The dimensions are 5 x 5 x 15 and weight is 8-9 pounds, depending on gear base.
- This is great as a table lamp, accent lamp in entryways, reading light or lighting for kitchen counter areas.
- Savage Metal recommends using an Edison style LED bulb to complete the look (normal socket size, standard E26).
- In El Paso, Texas: Expect nothing but quality from Savage Metal products.
