It's nice to have furniture that's kind to the planet, as well as being pleasing to the eye. This chair by Whit McLeod is made from recycled 70 gallon oak wine barrels. It folds down into a slight, but perfect curve, with each individual slat fitting seamlessly with the next. Each chair has the vineyard's name branded on the underside, so you know exactly where your chairs have come from. They come in a variety of naturally stained wood finishes, including ebony and mahogany, and are varnished with linseed oil to give it a sleek look which makes it a great piece of furniture for inside, or outside your house. Each chair costs US$159 and they are available from Bluehouse.com
