Recycled plastic bottle caps were shredded to create the limited edition Translation Armchair Kylie Collection from Qui est Paul?. Designed by Alain Gilles to support the non-profit organization “Les Bouchons d’amour” — a French organization that raises money from collecting plastic corks and reselling the cork to a recycling company. The proceeds from the cork sales are then used to purchase wheelchairs for those in need.
“This armchair is a good example that, with some fine tuning, normally wasted materials can be transformed into fully functional furniture that does not have to hide its origins,” explains Qui est Paul? of the design.
There are 100 numbered chairs available. Each chair costs 590 € (US$850).
