Earlier, we wrote about the recycling initiatives by the 2012 Architects. Superuse is their new online community for designers, architects and everybody else who is interested in inventive ways of recycling.
The website features inspiring case studies which all seem to acclaim the "Screws Better Than Glues" section in Allan's Sustainability Manifesto. For instance, this wing desk made out of an historical wing part of the DC-3 by Dutch designer Dolph Bode - if you think recycling can get any cooler than this then get yourself registered and write us about your own Superuse.
Superuse is also a book showing supercool examples of re-use architecture. The book will be published later this month so stay tuned for this worthy one to fill up the bookshelves.

Wish they wouldn't have photographed this as if it were a desk; I want a smooth, flat working surface. This has a place, just not as a utilitarian piece of furniture, imo.
I think this looks very good indeed, but most of the cool "re-use" items from aviation seem to be crazy expensive even though there are many old airplane graveyards.
Awful.
