Recycled-Content Rubber Bands!

Architect's all seem to have some kind of interesting relationship with rubber bands.  There must be something in our DNA that attracts us to them.  Here at TRPinc, we're no different.  From Alex's 5" diameter rubber band ball to Steve's uncanny ability to shoot a rubber band at velocities approaching the speed of sound with the accuracy of a laser beam, our hearts are clearly bound by these little rubber hoops.

Last week we came across these little jewels out of Switzerland...rubber bands made from recycled bicycle innertubes!  The product, called Plattfuss, is beautiful, no matter what you're appreciation level is for rubber bands.  The packaging is well designed and the idea itself is simply brilliant.  Designed by Brigitta and Benedikt Martig-Imhof of SEED Peoples Market for tät-tat
