repurposed tin tuffet

This green design concept by Berlin-based design company Rafinesse & Tristesse is such a neat idea! A used olive oil tin is repurposed and made new into a contemporary tin footstool, as well as a miniature toy kitchen complete with accessories (also made from recycled materials).

Rafinesse & Tristesse’s design philosophy is to create products with the environment and society in mind. Each handcrafted piece is made in Switzerland and Germany in cooperation with under-privilege communities, using as many recycled items as possible.
