BRC Designs has a knack for creating furniture from recycled materials – and the studio’s latest project is a lamp made almost entirely from repurposed piano keys! The Wingin’ It Floor Lamp is made from an assortment of wood pieces salvaged from a dusty piano keyboard. The lamp is held together using nuts and bolts, and it lights up with 15 LED bulbs that consume less energy than a single 70 watt incandescent.

Whether you call it ‘soda’ or ‘pop,’ we can all agree that BRC Designs‘ quirky and colorful ‘Suicide Collection’ is pretty impressive. The unique pieces of furniture are made from hundreds of recycled cans and pop tops that have been stitched and soldered together. The furniture collection, which features both a chair and a table, is crafted from an assortment of recycled cans, and it’s named after the suicide drink — a favorite of kids that involves mixing three or more different sodas together into one sugary concoction.

While known for his upcycled chairs and tables, Benjamin Rollins Caldwell of BRC Designs has also been dabbling in the world of fashion — or at least repurposing fashion. One of his latest projects has been to collect hundreds of pairs of denim jeans, which he scavenges for their pockets. The upcycled denim pockets are then sewn into a unique patchwork rug that has us DIYers salivating to create our very own.

Spotted at ICFF this past weekend, the literally literary seat has a color-blocked design that references Mondrian. The designer, Benjamin Rollins Caldwell, explained that he obtained many of the books for free at thrift shops and selected the spines that had the most titillating titles.

Kids love bright colors and fun designs, but the plastic furniture readily available to adorn their rooms is usually predictable and non eco-friendly. BRC Designs fixes this problem with their kid-tested, parent-approved ABC123 furniture. The modern chair is made entirely out blocks – a toy that has never gone out of style. The best part? We’re hoping this inspires them to put the video games down and make something with their own set of building blocks.

BRC Designs just sent us their latest project — the Interweb Chair — which features a woven web-like seat made from 1,100 feet of coaxial cables found in an abandoned warehouse. The white color was obtained by stripping away the black outer core and copper shield, and the cables were then woven through 64 aluminum grounding bars, making this chair a true piece of “industrial craftsmanship”.

Each day thousands of playing cards are used in the endless games of Black Jack and Poker that take place in Las Vegas casinos — and these cards are often quickly laid to rest to make way for fresh new packs. Inspired by this often overlooked material, BRC Designs recently stepped in to give 350 decks of these retired cards a new lease of life with the creation of their Deuces Wild Chair. We spotted this re-shuffled card chair at ICFF 2010 and were impressed by its clever reuse of recycled materials and stunning handcrafted structure.
