Tad� Recycled Tire Tubs & Pots

Wheels Reborn. A recent trip to the Conran Shop turned up these pots and tubs from French company, Tad�. The shapes are inspired by Middle Eastern leather baskets but are made from recycled tires...

Because these are extremely weather-resistant (though not guaranteed to be 100% water-tight) and durable, the larger sizes would be ideal for storing a range of objects. We immediately think of toys, sports equipment, clean towels and giant bags of dog food. In our own situation the largest tub might make a good laundry hamper.

At Conran, the Pots range from $14 - $38 and the Tubs range from $74 - $135, depending on size.

What would you use these recycled tire tubs for?

I am thinking shoes, since I always get a collection of them in my entrance way. That way when I get too many collected in the bin, I take the whole thing into my bedroom and put them away. Some people just can't put things away piece meal

These are all over Morocco. My bathroom mirror is a sunburst style made out of an old tire.:-)
