From Beer and Wine Bottles to Recycled Glass Furniture
Glass makes such a beautiful recycled material for countertops and furniture – there’s just something about its sparkle that makes it stand out as an eco-friendly choice. And, there’s plenty of it out there – just think how many beer, wine and other glass bottles get thrown away all across the country where recycling facilities aren’t available (or people are just too lazy).
A company called Green Grove Design debuted a new type of recycled glass material International Contemporary Furniture Fair last week. Robal Glass is made of 100% recycled glass encased in clear, soy-based resin for a durable surface that’s also beautiful and modern.
Designer Scott Grove produces interior and exterior furnishings, art and accessories using Robal Glass as a primary material. Current available colors include Cobalt, Amber, Polar, Tundra, Caribbean, Prairie, Ocean, Forest and Jungle; custom colors can be created.
“I’ve always been intrigued by new materials, and Robal Glass sparkles with a three-dimensional aesthetic that draws you in,” said Grove. “To be a part of this new venture, creating and designing beautiful pieces from what would have been industrial and consumer castoff is particularly gratifying and adds an entirely new level of cultural responsibility to my work.”
