Ecologically

Responsible

Design

Scrap propane tanks are abundant due to strict regulations limiting their service life.

The tanks are carefully dissected and the parts welded together, with no additional reshaping or reforming of the material.  Upcycling uses less energy than recycling.

These seats contain 99% post-consumer recycled content.

Made from curved steel with a wall thickness of 1/4 inch (6.5mm), a very sturdy structure is created when the parts are welded together.

Since propane tanks are so common many people are able to appreciate the ecological statement associated with their transformation into functional works of art.

The combination of curved seat and curved backrest provides good lumbar support for a wide range of body sizes, an ergonomic improvement over traditional metal benches with flat seats.
