Recycling is the buzzword these days and going by the trend, eco friendly and environment activists out there are hellbent on converting wonderful products from recycled goods to drive the message home. Take a look at this work desk that looks perfectly new and glossy, but is originally a reclaimed surface from a salvaged basketball gym floor. Probably we may not have a basketball floor to convert into work spaces, but we can surely get inspired to do much more with what we have ready and available at home.
The Origin Desk, created by Mirato design has a nostalgic story to unravel to the people who work there. Many a time they would have used the gym floors to burn those kilos and the memories that they have created around the floors have been given a lasting and creative expression by converting them into beautiful work tables that are in no way inferior to the newer ones available in the store.
The restoration of the floor is perfect and they have managed to retain the gloss and the shine of the wood that was once a gym flooring. The asymmetrical black line on the table adds to its attraction and gives it a touch of sophistication and nostalgia. Along with its white metal frame and bold red work chairs, the office area is given a whole new and refreshing look that is in line with the modernistic trend that defines office spaces these days.
The traditional and vibrant shades used in the wood and the office furniture blend all the elements and colors beautifully, creating a work area that is beautiful and cozy to the core. Mirato creates ecological, elegant and multi-generational furniture by using reused materials along with steel, glass and bamboo.
