An interiors enthusiast has been transforming old rubber car tyres into stylish woven twine coffee tables.

Australian-based Jasmine Campbell, who runs homeware website Modern Mila, first began creating the coffee tables after she realised how much waste her family was making. Keen to make a difference, she began turning leftover scraps found around the home into homeware accessories.

The repurposed tyres — which Jasmine now sells for around £116 — are wrapped in woven twine, have wooden legs, a tropical print fabric on top and are fitted with a sealed bottom. Best of all, each design has a removable lid which reveals a secret storage space inside.

As well as being a cost-effective and sustainable way to repurpose the tyres, it shows how a little imagination can go a long way – and people can't get enough of them.

'Like all my upcycle projects I'm really quite passionate about these guys! It's so hard to get trendy furniture at a reasonable cost and made sustainably. Plus it comes with that additional storage space under the lid,' Jasmine wrote on Facebook.

As well as the tyres, Jasmine also makes tote bags, soy wax candles, statement earrings, fabric plant pot holders and eco cleaning brushes, too.
