Gabriel Beltrone/Adfreak: Civic nonprofit Mobilidade Urbana Sustenável and JWT are out with the Political Furniture project, a campaign in the wake of the country's elections that shows people how to turn post-ballot sandwich boards into DIY home fixtures. The project includes instruction sets for how to build coat racks, stools, towel horses, side tables and coffee tables out of discarded campaign materials. You still have to do a fair amount of work—the key element in the designs seems to be thee two-by-fours found in sandwich boards. The wood will need sawing and sanding and screwing, so don't forget your toolkit. How do you like this idea of using political trash for DIY furniture projects?

In the video it looks like they only recycled the wood and not the plastic, should they still be given kudos or does throwing away the plastic cancel out what they do with the leftover wood?

Does the project inspire you to start DIYing leftovers/throways in your area?

Would you be so brave as to find out where the political ad supplies go in your area after the election?
