Hot or Not? Ovetto Differenziato (Recycling Egg)
From Re-nest: Our site that covers abundant design for green homes

10-09-2008ovetto.JPGSpace age cool, or just another piece of unnecessary plastic? What do you think of this futuristic recycling center?

Over at Re-nest, we're continuing our Creative Reuse series with a retro-themed craft from reader Victoria. The reuse theme continues with a coffee table made from a washing machine tub and kitchen tiles made from cork. We reflect on the "unnecessary necessary"—that stuff that creeps into your life and is so difficult to get rid of... and a friend gives us a kawaii way of keeping food from spoiling in the fridge. Links after the jump.

This is a stunning example of finding the potential in cast-off stuff: who would guess that's a washing machine tub?

We spotted these cork wall tiles at West Coast Green.
