New Brooklyn Industries store: Made out of recycled garbage
From PLENTY magazine's blogs:
"Local Brooklyn designers used materials from scrap centers to refurbish the 100 year-old-building that houses the store. In fact, almost the whole interior of the store, including the furniture and clothes hangers, and even the L-shaped counter areaâ€â€cash register and allâ€â€are made from recycled materials and scrap wood."
"The store, located at 161 8th Ave. at 18th Street, opens on Saturday, September 2nd at 11 a.m."
