The furniture is made from reclaimed bourbon barrels from Bardstown, Kentucky. Usually, the used barrels are only used once to age bourbon, and then they’re either sold to Scotland for scotch or they’re turned into planters, or firewood (sob! how wrong!!).

Uhuru is instead taking this gorgeous charred white oak and has created the Küpe line. Heck, they make gorgeous furniture, period. I want all my stuff to be from here!

Bourbon Barrel Furniture

These new glasses, handmade in Colombia from recycled windshields, have a slight green tinge. Ideally, they’re stronger because it’s safety glass fer chrissake! It’s designed to keep people inside cars! Ideally, this means if I bounce one off the hardwood floors here, that it’ll survive! (I hope!)

Available from Uncommon Goods for $20-$22 a pair. (Image source, Uncrate)
