Remember Rio


You were in Rio, all right. Nice tan lines.

Here’s a little something that will help you remember your thong-on-the-beach days: the Miss Rio Ottoman made from recycled flip-flops. That’s right, flip-flops. (And they’re as soft as a Brazilian’s sandcastle.) Designer Karin Wittmann Wilsmann didn’t just lighten up our landfills, she also found a way to employ craftspeople in communities such as Rio. What’s more, her outdoor-ready perch is a real color bomb. Think frou-frou cocktails, rainbow umbrellas and neon bikinis.
