Urban Tree Salvage Creates Awesome Rugged Equipment
Urban Tree Salvage recently exhibited some of their pieces at the 2011 Interior Design Show that was held in Toronto. Their unique furniture is designed out of wood that they have salvaged from their local surroundings.
The types of woods that Urban Tree Salvage focuses on using are locally grown domestic woods such as Maple, Ash, Elm and Oak. Urban Tree Salvage creates custom pieces, which allows customers to request certain types of woods and designs as well.

If you’re a lover of the latest gadgets, but appreciate all things retro, then the V-Luxe iPad Stand is for you. This iPad stand was designed by Paula Anne Patterson and takes inspiration from the wood-grained black and white televisions that were popular in the 1950s.


Johnny Swing is a very original furniture designer who decided to give literal meaning to the phrase “sitting on cash” by building a series of sofas and chairs out of thousands of coins.

His latest creation, entitled “All the King’s Men” was made out of thousands of 50-cent coins, which makes it not only ridiculously uncomfortable, but also insanely expensive. Each coin was welded to a steel frame, which obviously takes a lot of patience, but considering Johnny has done it a few times before, it probably wasn’t that much of a problem.

While it’s not the kind of comfortable furniture you’d want to slouch on when you get home from work, Johnny Swing’s coin sofa is definitely something to look at, especially knowing that owning it is actually illegal in many countries.
