Ashtrays as Furniture

Commemorative July 01 UK Smoking Ban Art

I love this idea from the online pub come called The Albion. Smoking in public places was banned in the UK from the 01 July which makes this site bang on trend.

I will let the pictures from their 'July 01 Commemorative Collection' speak for themselves - who would have thought such groovy furniture could be made from the traditional pub ashtray?

Implications - With eco-conscious consumers on the rise, retailers are desperate for new environmental products to supply. Consumers are very willing to embrace goods made from upcycled materials, as it reduces their carbon footprint. Companies should seek upcycled materials for their product lines to appeal to green consumers.
