Product description
Eye-catching, colourful birdhouses made by Bomdesign from reused billboards. Extremely sustainable, and the birds totally love them!
Since 2004, Bomdesign has been making booklamps and other products from used materials. Their designs were nominated in 2009 for the 'European Environmental Design Award' in Madrid. Bomdesign handcrafts these birdhouses in their studio in Rotterdam, The Netherlands.
Each birdhouse has its own unique typographic design and the touch of the artisan. These nests are frequented by great tits (Paridae), koolmees, pimpelmees, sparrows, or other finches of a similar size.
The side of the birdhouse can be opened to clean the nest box. A great present for any bird lover. Fans have said, "In just two weeks, I had lodgers in the birdhouse." Materials: Reused, durable, upcycled Finnish birch multiplex billboards. Perches are made from found handles.
Dimensions: 20 x 17 x 44 cm (7.8 x 6.7 x 17.3 inches)
They can be shipped worldwide; if your country is not listed, please ask for an estimate. The birdhouses can also be picked up in Rotterdam.
The practice of salvaging discarded materials to create novel designs is at the heart of Bomdesign's work. The diverse output, in addition to their Birdhouse series, includes booklamps, comic lamps, and chairs made out of recycled billboards, along with a pencil holder made from vinyl records. The chosen materials come from their direct area: from a market, a second-hand shop, or out of a container on the street.
Bomdesign finds it important to implement the qualities of the old material and to accentuate the beauty thereof in their new designs. They strive to achieve a balance between the used material and the new product. "You want to create a new design that captures the special quality and beauty of the old material." Through their designs, Bomdesign hopes to inspire people. "If we study the process of recycling in nature, we can learn that old things can be used in the birth of new things, and that discarded materials are not useless but can still have another function. I hope that my designs contribute to people becoming more conscious about how they could live in balance with their surroundings and minimize their impact on the environment. I wish that we could live in complete sustainability."
