I’ve been noticing a lot of cool canvassy and burlappy looking furniture lately made using coffee bags and tarps that have been re-purposed. It’s a very interesting trend that I think has been done really well with these two pieces.
Above is the Upcycle Ottoman from Gus Design Group upholstered in fair trade coffee bags – I love the look and because each is created from original bags, each is entirely unique.
Below is the Bobo Wing Chair from Bobo Intriguing Objects that’s upholstered using reclaimed tarps. The tarp is Libeco mill-washed linen that comes from vintage South American truck tarps. The piece also features hand-carved wood legs.

absolutely adore the look of these pieces – they look amazing.
Love the texture of burlap, had never considered doing furniture! Love it!
I’m not crazy about the thought of lounging on scratchy burlap, but I think my dog would be ALL over it! I’d totally pick up a big pillow or dog bed made from these!
I think the chair is made from a washed linen that is probably soft – the ottoman which is made with burlap of course would be for feet or to use as a stool.
I also have noticed seeing this look as well…I like it as an accent piece in a room…
what a cool collection.
I love the look of the burlap, especially with coffee or other labels printed. I also want an ottoman like that to put my feet up, or have an extra seat for company.
I notice the burlap trend everywhere these days and love that people are repurposing items!

What a great idea! I think they would be great for a rustic-style space.
