The Whisperer would like to share an ingenious reclamation suggestion. Old office chairs are being transformed into hard-shell backpacks and panniers.
British student Thomas Howell-Jones has created ‘Rest’, a new product which uses the backrests of discarded office chairs to form durable, waterproof and impact proof bags.
The sustainable solution converts the back of the chairs into a large bag which can be worn or mounted onto a bicycle.
Thousands of office chairs go to waste every year and the project could slash the numbers that end up discarded in refuse tips.
Any suggestions on how best to use the discarded office chair wheels would be welcomed? Please email the editor.
