URBAN BIRDHOUSES GIVE SECOND LIFE TO DISCARDED LINOLEUM these playful birdhouses repurpose discontinued samples and manufactured linoleum blanks, a material made from natural and renewable ingredients such as linseed oil, pine rosin, wood, cork flour and jute. presented as a game, the easy-to-handle and mount design seeks to provide learning, awareness and coexistence with small animals such as birds that cohabit with us in urban environments. see more submissions by our readers here, and find out how to upload your own project here. the weekly is an inside review curated by sofia lekka angelopoulou. |
