(Controversial) Newspaper Recycling Stand

Simple yet appears to be extremely effective. I like it, to bad I don’t have time to read the paper at home.

That’s really cool! But… uhm…. errr….. what’s a newspaper?

Well it is butt-ugly, but practical- so I can see why it might be a guy thing…but then again it might just be a marketing issue.

Would you put this piece into your home?

Would you put it in your home if you found out that it was made by Toronto artist Gord Peteran?

Get my point?

In any case well done for recycling and such a beautiful piece by artist Richforever

I’m with Kerux, though- stopped reading newspapers about 10 years ago.

location, location, location… find the right spot for it when you have “company” (including the spouse)

looks great as an addition to the recycling storage units and would hold all the cardboard and paper products.

It is a great idea.

My thought would be to make a “dressier” version that would perform the same function, but look more like “real” furniture.

It doesn’t have to sit in the living room, either. It would be a functional piece for the “mud-room” or laundry room. Clever concept.

We have curbside recycling here so all that recycling stuff goes in the bin at the end of the day. Way to go whomever at Brandon City Hall who promoted curbside recycling!

oh, i’m sure they could be made to match the decorating scheme of just about any living room.

i love it—-but permission would NOT be granted, lol! great idea…i love the idea that when it gets full, that is about time to head to the recycle center…

-- Matt, Napa, CA...fun is beautiful...just trying to have some fun...

We always had newspapers stacked up to start fires with in the winter time. This is a good idea, but it still would have been in the garage or next to the wood pile, not next to the couch. Sorry. LOL

The first issue in my house would be the location. The second issue would be the looks of the rack. I’d at least need to build a furniture quality rack. That rack wouldn’t fly in my LR any more than shelves on concrete blocks would.

I’m fully expected to carry my recycling to the garage. There’s no way I want a stack of newspapers in the living room. This is true regardless of how nice the rack might be built.

Thanks everyone for the feedback. There has got to be a balance somewhere between function, art, and beauty, right? Maybe this is a little too functional. Being unmarried, I can get away with too much function in relation to the art and beauty.

I’ll make up for this by posting another project – maybe the rosewood stained fireplace mantel – which took me 2 and 1/2 months to get right, while filling the living room with little blocks of 2×4’s, plastic sheets, paint, stain, routers, and lots of sawdust.

If we could convince people it was functional on more than on plane we could make a butt load of money.
