The Junkture Table is yet another example that furniture made from recycled material does not have to look like crap. This chic table’s centerpiece was made from a magnesium wheel rim that was recovered from a junkyard in NYC. This rim was then covered with black glass for that avant garde, urban chic look. The table was designed by Beth Fuller.
“Using recycled material is always a challenge,” says the table’s designer Beth Fuller, “because you have to take things that are used or discarded and make them into something desirable — something that people think is new and hip and beautiful. The challenge is particularly invigorating because the designer becomes an educator, teaching the public what’s actually going to the landfill, and how it can be given a new life.”
