Post-industrial automotive seatbelts

This is one of the best examples of repurposed furniture I’ve seen for a while, it’s so modern and simple in it’s application of the material and in the form of it’s design.
Repurposed furniture works best when the application of material is done with the minimal of construction. Here the material is weaved in and through itself to form not only a great looking texture but a very strong functional support.
Post-industrial automotive seat belts are an excellent choice of material, they are easy to access and are a lovely texture, very smooth to touch and extremely strong to fasten things to.
The combination of the solid Maple wood gives this piece a strong structure to work from and softens the look of the piece while providing a little bit of contrast from the deep shiny black of the seat belts.
The website where the product - www.vivavi.com is from has many other great pieces of furniture, ,a real goldmine.
