rafinesse & tristesse: recycled olive oil tins
Rafinesse & Tristesse is a children's line of handmade recycled products from Switzerland from all recycled components. I saw them at Green Fest in Seattle, and they are too cute in person too. The main body of either 'Frizzle Sizzle' or 'Splish Splash' is made from recycled olive oil tins. Each sink or stove top made is unique and come with clocks hooks and storage. Simply adorable!!!
