Recycled Tire Basket and Bucket

2007-11-30-tires.jpgRugged, stylish and green. This basket and bucket are made from recycled rubber tires - a seriously good looking reuse of utilitarian material. The shape of these two oversized vessels is what really elevates them to something special - slightly exotic and surprisingly elegant. We agree with the photo stylist that these are perfect for firewood...

...but think they would be equally great for large plants or the mother of all yarn stashes.

From le souk, for €19.95 (bucket) and €23.95 and (basket) .

International shipping is available, but obviously isn't the greenest option - has anyone seen these (or something similar) available closer to home?

Great recycling.

But my son has a pair of sandals made out of used tires, and they smell strongly and unpleasantly of rubber. I wonder if these smell, too.

So very cool, and with me and my boyfriend moving to Portland next year, these would be a great addition to our new place.
