Eco consciousness is the trendiest attitude around! Don’t let anyone tell you different! If there’s any doubt on that one, just think about those terrific boots made from recycled plastic bags!
Entering the recycling reflex – a very interesting contest initiated by Remade (in Chile) took place in November and targeted design students who were demanded to create products using Puma trainers.
The contest’s results were exhibited from November 37 until December 4 so everyone could have the chance to see there’s life after sneakers. The first prize was awarded to a lamp made of reclaimed Puma sample trainers, the second prize went to a corseted dress, my favorite was the third prize with bugs made from trainers. (more after the jump)
But there was more to the exhibition than just the three first prizes – you could’ve admire toys made from Puma trainers, masks, amazing flower pots, the iconic Puma toy and a trainers blender. Which one was your favorite and which one would you bring home? (via)

Clever and creative constructive use. I like it as art.
Agree with Ellington. But to use an old beloved Puma as a pot for Basil in the kitchen for while is fun too!
Ellington you’re right, it’s 100% art! I could only imagine the effort and work that went into those items!
Adriana I wasn’t expecting flower pots either! It kinda reminded me the plant from Wall-E!
