When she's not scoping out stories, you can find her checking out live music or surfing in the chilly waters of Northern California.
N+ew
N+ew, which stands for No More Electronic Waste, is the creation of Chilean artist Rodrigo Alonso. Alonso makes these stools out of old electronics.
Too much e-waste
Though N+ew is a functional piece of furniture, Alonso also created the chairs to make a statement about the amount of e-waste in this world.
Take a seat
Alonso produces the chairs in limited runs, but you can also special order one.
Eye opener
The N+ew chairs are very cool looking, but they also highlight the problem of e-waste.
Recycla
All the old tech pieces are donated by Chilean recycling company Recycla.
Making N+ew
Alonso creates the stools by pouring clear epoxy resin and melted recycled aluminum into molds. The resin can also be dyed red.
Bottoms up
The legs of the stool are made from cast aluminum.
