5. Designer Benjamin Huybert and the renowned Raeburn brand have created a collection of furniture made from recycled parachutes. The Canopy collection includes three low-seat rocking chairs and a screen divider. Armchairs and screen are structures made of welded steel frame, covered with parachute fabric. Two chairs in the collection are draped in layers of fabric so as to create a “clumsy” look, the third is more rigorous in design, but brighter than all – white and peach. To create the Canopy collection, designers used surplus military airborne and braking parachutes made from the ultra-thin ripstop nylon material.
