Eco-Lounge Chair (pg1) - Design made from a recycled pallet and window blinds. Designed to mimic form language of blind usage. Pulling the blind strings collapses the design to make it easy to transport. (amazingly comfortable I might add!)

Eco- Lounge Chair (pg 2) - The design is easy to replicate, and I encourage anyone to re-utilize discarded pallets as so.

Eco-ergonomic shovel handle - Wooden shovel handle designed to intuitively direct interaction. Form language guides where to hold, how to grasp, and directs proper movement.
