Eco Chic Green Flooring with Leather Belts

We've highlighted a number of the best options for eco-friendly flooring in an earlier post, including chic bamboo and cork, sophisticated recycled glass, and gorgeous reclaimed wood floors.  London-based TING has introduced a new look for green flooring - using recycled leather belts.

Vintage belts are carefully hand cleaned with a nontoxic solution, shaved to provide a uniform width, and then hand assembled with water-based glue to create unique and intriguing tiles.  TING leather flooring tiles are available in square foot sections for about $75 each and can be used for innovative, eco-friendly flooring, countertops, tables, and even walls.
