The Green Screen

The People's Choice winners in the 2008 Ample Sample Contest were both innovative and easy to recreate as an at home DIY project repurposing samples from the flooring industry. This contest is sponsored by the trade magazine Floor Focus, flooring manufacturer Bentley Prince Street and design tool creator Tricycle.

The Green Screen uses carpet's sound insulation properties and the unique size of unused samples to create a room divider. The Carpet Sqr'd Chair uses stacked carpet tiles and rivets to create a shapely chair. To see more winners from the contest, click here.
