Airplanes on the wall

Check out this material that's scheduled to come out in the couple months. It's called Bio-Luminum and it's a tile made entirely from the fuselage of old airplanes.

The material is 100% recycled and 100% recyclable and Coverings Etc., the company behind Bio-Luminum, recently won the 2009 ICFF Best Materials Award. Here's a bit about them:

COVERINGS ETC was founded in 1998 to source innovative natural stone and mosaics. Expanded in the new millennium to cater to the new eco-friendly and engineered stone surface materials in popular demand, COVERINGS ETC has added new lines and new collections to satisfy traditional, contemporary and classic design projects.

Coverings Etc. also makes a really interesting line of 100% recycled / 100% recyclable glass panels as part of their Bio-Glass series.
