Ever thought how many trees would’ve been cut to manufacture newspapers and furniture? Ever thought how newspapers could be recycled to make a bench? Well, everybody is not as innovative as this aspiring eco-conscious designer, Oscar Lhermitte, a student of London’s Central Saint Martins College of Arts and Design. This youngster has figured an admirable way to recycle newspapers.

334, the first among his new series of furniture, the ‘X day projects’ has been called so after the number of newspapers used to craft it. This cute looking piece of furniture was made from old newspapers and three metal pieces without using any binding materials like glue, screws or nails. Though it looks delicate and sleek, the creator claims that it can bear the weight of 5.

Affordable at a price of 5 pounds, it is an easy piece of furniture that doesn’t need a carpenter to make it, doesn’t make the house dirty and conserves trees. Its a pleasure to see how people are trying to spread a message of recycling things and promoting environmental protection.
