Shipping crate furniture by Boudewijn van den Bosch

By Antonia Edwards

BEEmeubels (BEEdesign) is owned by Dutch designer Boudewijn van den Bosch who transforms materials with a previous ‘life’ into stunning furniture. He takes shipping crates used to export coloured glass from the USA to the Netherlands and makes them into unique tables and chairs.  Pickle jars also get the BEEmeubles treatment and a second chance at life as beautiful lighting.  Products are available to buy in stores.  They can also be contacted directly for custom made furniture or complete interiors.

    I've seen some of these furniture but didn't think that these are shipping crates, I thought they are only designed. Very creative and what's good is that he was able to create a wonderful outcome out of the used item.
