Did you ever own a koosh as a kid? If so, then this 'Miss Rio' ottoman (or 'pouffe' to some of us) will look weirdly familiar.
Look more closely, however, and you'll see that it's actually made from hundreds of recycled flip-flops. The unworn sandals are taken from surplas stock that would otherwise have gone to landfill, so you won't need to worry about any previous owners' sweaty feet or verucas. And for extra greenie-points, these items are manufactured by social organisations that provide work for otherwise unemployed craftspeople from the local community. $250 at Design Within Reach [Via Great Green Goods]
