bugs with a past

Not all bugs are here to buzz in your ear or pollinate your flowers, some just want to bring a smile to your face and help keep old items out of our landfills.

Melbourne, Australia-based design house 'Lighty' brings us Crysalis, the newest life cycle of the butterfly. Just like a butterfly's metamorphosis, Crysalis makes its own transformation from an old saucer to unique wall decor. Since these beautiful butterflies are crafted from old saucers, much like nature, each butterfly is unique.

Looking for some bugs that are a bit less granny chic? CB2 provides us with a number of recycled tin packaging bugs crafted by an artisan co-op in Africa. Just like each Crysalis pattern, no two recycled bugs are the same.
