Furniture design

. South African designer Nic Kruger is turning flotsam and jetsam into tables and chairs. Years ago, he stumbled upon a wrecked boat, named the Kunene, and fell in love with the patinas of her siding. The moment provided the inspiration for his company, Shipwreck Furniture, which now produces one-of-a-kind furniture pieces out of wood scavenged from old boats. Whether a bench or a table or chair, each piece tells a story about an adventure at sea, and is truly unique.

Not only this is environment friendly, it also fits in almost all kind of interior setting. But even the story behind its origin is unique, I do not think that it will attract many buyers. Firstly, because it looks really simple and common. Secondly, there are too much competitions especially from designers who use other materials
