Book Vases

Graduate designer Laura Cahill makes vases and furniture…from books. Cahill, who uses books from secondhand stores, found that old books are very difficult to recycle because of the glue used in the binding process. Instead of letting these old books collect dust or sit in a landfill, she uses a band saw to cut profiles from the tomes and wraps the spines around test tubes to form waterproof vases.
