A new company from Spain called DVELAS is making limited edition outdoor furniture from old sails. Created by a group of Spanish architects and designers, DVELAS takes old sails and re-uses them so that they don’t end up in the trash. Instead, they’re transformed into contemporary, comfortable heavy duty outdoor seating.
With over six different series of furniture, DVELAS has created a pretty cool line. Each piece comes with information about the sail’s origin such as the port and boat it came from, the type of sail, and the material and original sailmaker.

Although Summer is coming to an end, I wish I was going somewhere this weekend where I could float on one of these – how about you?

Clean lines, contemporary style and recycled – this range is just great!

What a brilliant idea and so versatile in use too. Particularly a fan of the floating ones, that boy looks very comfortable!
