The Art of Upcycling Bike Parts

Bicyclists around the world are generally an environmentally conscious bunch, so I shouldn't have been surprised when my search for "recycled bike art" came up with furniture, jewelry, bags and even a few nude sculptures. Found on Inhabit.com, sculptor Seo Young Deok created these larger than life nude sculptures entirely from bicycle chains. The display is titled "Dystopia" and is on display at the INSA/Arko Art Gallery in Soeul.

Seo Young Doek - "Dystopia"

Most of my favotes seem to fall in the home decor section: chairs made froms wheel rims and tubes, coffee tables decorated with old cranks, and the sublte bike chain candle holders from ReBike Blog.

 

 Can you spot the "upcycled" bike parts in this CB2 catelog?
