\"Vinylux\"<\/a>Meet Jeff Davis of Vinylux. He’s creating hip art and reducing land fill waste one record at a time.<\/p>\n

Part of his mission statement reads, "While literally billions of LPs still exist in the world, most are slated to become garbage before too long. Vinylux products take advantage of these obsolete piles of records and give new life to this neglected, but not forgotten, material.  Over the past 4 years, we have recycled about 200,000 records – about 50,000 pounds of vinyl and cardboard."<\/p>\n

Some of Jeff’s items we carry include motown record bowls<\/a> and LP coasters<\/a>.<\/p>\n

"Jeff Davis graduated from the Rhode Island School of Design in 2002, with a master’s degree in Industrial Design.  It was at RISD where Vinylux began, as part of a graduate thesis project.  His work generally focuses on turning our familiar relationships with everyday objects into re-imagined experiences. Jeff has been making objects, furniture, and designing environments for over 15 years."<\/p>\n
