Hair-like sisal is used to playful effect in this table. The raw fibres are from the leaves of the agave plant, an agricultural waste left over from tequila distilleries.
Formerly produced to make rugs, ropes and fishing nets, sisal use has diminished with the invention of plastic.
Fernando Laposse's designs support local employment and the development of new agave plantations that help to retain rainfall on over-farmed, barren landscapes.

Waste Age: What can design do?
(October 2021 – February 2022)
We all know waste is a big problem. So how are we going to fix it?
A new generation of designers is rethinking our relationship to everyday things. From fashion to food, electronics to construction, even packaging - finding the lost value in our trash and imagining a future of clean materials and a circular economy could point the way out of the Waste Age.
Explore major new exhibits that capture the devastating impact of waste including a large-scale art installation by Ibrahim Mahama made from e-waste in Ghana.
The exhibition showcases some of the visionary designers who are reinventing our relationship with waste, including Formafantasma, Stella McCartney, The Ellen MacArthur Foundation, Lacaton & Vassal, Fernando Laposse, Bethany Williams, Phoebe English and Natsai Audrey Chieza.
'We must face the problem of waste – we can no longer ignore what happens to things when we get rid of them. Instead of thinking of objects as things that have an end life, they can have many lives. This is not just an exhibition it is a campaign, and we all have an active part in our future.' Gemma Curtin, Curator.

Photo is taken in a abandoned coal plant. The complex was closed in 1977. In the building you will still find the equipment and tools which these men have worked with.
I'm posting this photo to retrieve it soon. I'll use it to talk about our upcoming story, in worship, about Jesus overturning the tables in the Temple in Jerusalem.
These are actualy picnic tables at Elmwood Park Zoo, waiting for guests to use them in the spring.
Dining table shapes is the most important element in a dining table which needs to be chosen smartly.
Cut the bits for the table top and the fense.
Experienced my first Kick-Back while cutting the triangle bit, so now I am more aware!!!
At this table, we closed on our first house. There were many papers to sign but it wasn't too bad. Apparently our seller was pretty much insane. Oh well - our house now!
My wife and I, along with our friends Melissa and Charmaine, held a garage sale today. It started off well, but then the storms came and we had to close down early. However, before the rain, I was able to make this photo of one table full of items. The think I just love about garage sales is the totally random collections one finds just sitting there waiting to be discovered.
