Made from an old washing machine drum that's been scrubbed up with Ecover and limescale remover, this light makes for a fine coffee table by day and a fabulous light show by night. Inside is an energy-saving bulb, which produces a disco ball-style show through the drum's cheese grater holes

Unto This Last produces beautiful, organic-looking and incredibly well-crafted wood furniture to order.

This hammock is made from recycled seatbelts that have been rejected by buyers because they're slightly off-shade or fail their 2.5 tonne break test. It can hold two light people easily and comes in three colours - our favourites are the green ones intended for ambulances, and the orange ones, which in an ironic twist were originally destined for Easyjet planes

This year, the London furniture maker added another green string to its bow by garnering FSC certification for its wood, making it the only UK bed maker with the badge. The firm also uses a biomass boiler at its workshops to burn waste wood, heat the buildings and keep two skips of wood out of landfill each week

Plastic accounts for 7% of all waste in Britain, and a substantial chunk of that is high-density polyethylene (HDPE) from milk bottles and washing-up liquid containers.

Made from an old reclaimed door, this chaise longue is just one of a whole series of transformed furniture made from old ladders, gates and beds. The wood for this particular chair has been cut into 90 individual pieces, drilled with 360 holes and threaded together with cable. The spine-like vertebrae of the wood moulds neatly to the back

Some furniture just doesn't work in the average domestic setting - this screen-cum-standing lamp from South African-born designer Ryan Frank made from old corrugated iron and bolted into a standing frame would look superb in a chi-chi loft space
