Imagine my surprise when I stumbled across these recycled car tyre seats and table on Alona beach, Panglao Island, off the coast of Bohol.
The last time I sat on furniture made from recycled car parts was in London many years ago in the warehouse studio of designer Ron Arad (some of his furniture is now housed in the London Design Museum!).
It's great to see recycled furniture made locally from materials that would otherwise be thrown away given a new life even on a remote beach in the Philippines.

| These were made by the restaurant owner from truck tyres and were actually very comfortable to sit on... |

| I even found this set, painted green, on Cabilao island many miles away... |
Next stop Japan :)
Have fun.
