Kevin Hunt Turns Old Patio Furniture Into Lush Growing Gardens

Kevin Hunt is artist and designer who uses recycled objects (mostly furniture) to create new and enticing works of art. Most of the objects that he finds are battered and no long beautiful, he then finds creative solutions to bring that beauty back into their lives.

The latest recycled work of art by Kevin Hunt is called The Garden Furniture in which he takes old furniture such as chairs, dressers and even patio doors and turns them into a haven for luscious green grass to grow. Hunt stuck grass seeds to the old wood surfaces and took care of them until they grew.

The furniture in this set looks great and is quite the conversation-starter.
