it may be old news to most but nanimarquina of spain who is known for their cool flying rug - super dooper for any kid-o's room, developed a sustainable carpet design dubbed BICICLETA .....woven with recycled bicycle inner tubes in 2005.
designed by Nani Marquina and Ariadna Miquel, it requires from 130 and 140 bicycle inner tubes which, once collected, are washed, cut and worked on a loom. nanimarquina could quite possibly be contributing to putting an end to waste rubber in the form of inner tubes from the city of Panipat, in the north of India - where this model is produced. This exclusive design makes it possible to transfer rubber from the garbage in the village streets to the living rooms, studios and terraces of houses across half the world. check them out at http://www.nanimarquina.com/dev/frontoffice/nanimarquina.php for more info and a retailer near you.
