Monde Ruelle is a collaborative design studio in Montreal that transforms and recycles scraps to create some of the most creative products I've come across.
A studio where craftsmen, designers, architects, recycling artists, sculptors, textile creators, multi-disciplinary artists, illustrators, wood-workers, decorators and all kinds of creative minds get together to create furniture, fixtures and accessories that are bound to bring a smile to your face...and are environmentally friendly as well.
"A gallery dedicated to diffusion of ecodesign and utilitarian art, its also a promotion engine of local talents: designers, artists and craftpeople who've chosen the green way." describes their website.
