Driftwood Conference Table Draws Attention To Environmental Issues

Filed under: Art, Green

A Table from the Sea's Edge from Neon Otter on Vimeo.
A large conference table and 12 chairs isn't usually considered art but A Table from the Sea's Edge by Silas Birtwistle isn't just any table. The British furniture maker and artist Silas Birtwistle created the table from driftwood gathered from Belize, Vancouver Island, Tanzania and Borneo. The exhibit, now on display at the World Museum in Liverpool, England, is meant to promote conservation of the world's seas, oceans and forests. Birtwistle gathered his wood with help from indigenous communities and the World Wildlife Fund as well as other organizations.

Bleu Nature Driftwood Tables

Filed under: Decor


Driftwood may be free on the beach but it will cost you in the designs of Frank Lefebrve for Bleu Nature. The company gathers driftwood from the northern shore of France and then combines them with enameled metal and other raw materials such as pebbles, hemp and raw linen to form furniture. These ten low tables are composed of driftwood made useful with the addition of metal and enamel tops. The set sells for $1,750.

Handmade Painted Driftwood Mirror

Filed under: Decor


The name of this piece alone was enough to catch my attention, as I used to live near the ocean when I was younger spending many hours finding little bits of driftwood beaten by the waves on the beach. But although it's not a complete loss, I was a little disappointed with the painted and artificial look of this Handmade Painted Driftwood Mirror. The driftwood idea is awesome, and maybe the picture just isn't doing it justice, but I think a lot of the character and the effort they spent hand selecting pieces is lost under the layers of paint.

They do, however, take special orders so I'm wondering if they'd be willing to leave the paint off? Or maybe that's just me. The standard size measures about 48H X 36H and goes for $2395.
