These funky chairs are a clever solution to old suitcases. The designer has come up with a way to recycle patterned luggage in a line dubbed the Sit Bag.
Each chair consists of two very retro hard-cases while the automans are made of a single closed case. MayBeDesign, Turkish company behind the pieces, used bold striped lines in hues that have come, left and now returned again.
Implications - In contemporary society, there is an increased importance on company's investing in sustainable products. Any company or brand that can sell their products as Green creations will benefit greatly from eco-conscious consumers and the goodwill the company will earn for their concept.
