If you are an Apple fan and want something a little different for your furniture, then you may want to have a look at this bench created by Klaus Geiger, the Apple Mac Bench.
As you can see from the photos, Klaus uses two Apple Power Mac G5s for the legs of his bench, and he also created some other modular furniture using casings from Apple Macs. This innovative approach not only gives a second life to these iconic machines but also adds a unique aesthetic to any space.
Upcycling Apple Macs
The concept of upcycling is at the heart of Klaus Geiger’s creations. Upcycling involves transforming waste materials or unwanted products into new materials or products of better quality or for better environmental value. In this case, the aluminum housing of the Power Mac G5, which was produced over nearly a decade, serves as the foundation for a range of furniture pieces. This approach not only preserves the legacy of Apple’s design but also promotes sustainability by reducing waste.
A seat and table furniture concept based on the aluminum housing of the PowerMac G5 computer from Apple. The computers were produced over a period of almost 10 years in the outwardly identical form: a milestone in the development of the design.
The Power Mac G5 was a significant milestone in Apple’s design history, known for its sleek aluminum casing and powerful performance. By repurposing these casings, Klaus Geiger not only pays homage to Apple’s design excellence but also creates functional art pieces that can be used in everyday life.
Design and Functionality
The design of the Apple Mac Bench is both functional and aesthetically pleasing. The solid wood board seat is carefully crafted to match the radius of the “temple” of the Mac housing, ensuring a seamless integration into the overall shape. This attention to detail highlights the craftsmanship involved in creating these pieces.
Because they are simply too good to be disposed of, we have developed this “upcycling” project and develop…
The idea for the bench gave the initial impetus. A seat from a solid wood Board refers to the radius of the “Temple” of the housing and integrates so seamlessly into the overall shape.
In addition to the bench, Klaus Geiger has also created other modular furniture pieces using the same upcycling concept. These include tables and storage units, all designed to complement the bench and provide a cohesive look. The use of high-quality materials and the innovative design make these pieces stand out in any setting.
