![Our new Drum Benches!](http://www.maxicontainer.com/mailings/images/may-12-newsletter-content/IMG_7453.jpg) |
Industrial furniture design is our newest hobby. Actually we decided to make these for a party we hosted but now we take them to green fairs and think they would be great in the garden. Our steel drum benches are made from a used food grade drums. They are surprisingly comfortable!
We have a limited number of these available now and will take custom orders for events that wish to use steel drums as seating. If interested just give us a call at 313-891-3880 or send us an email.

Maxi Hosts Cocktail Party... Reusable Industrial Packaging Association... |
Mike Bank, Sasha & Howard Skolnik |
The Reusable Industrial Packaging Association annual Technical conference was recently here in Detroit. The Conference highlights all the new and important details for our industry but also, being in Detroit gave us a chance to show our fellow industry members our new offices and warehouse. We took it one step farther and decided to host the cocktail party. We decorated in "Industrial Chic" with steel drum benches, pallets turned into tables, oak and steel wine barrels supported the bar and more!
The Reusable Packaging Association wrote a great full length article about the event. Also, please check out the all of the pictures on our Flickr.

Michigan Recycling Coalition Annual Conference... Recycling By Design... |
Plastic Bottles made into art: "The Trees of Life Reclaimed" |
For the past two years I have joined the recyclers from across the great lakes region (mainly Michigan) for the Michigan Recycling Coalition Annual Conference. It is informative and also a great opportunity to meet people making changes in our communities. Once thought of as a "trashy" business it is now helping shape the way we create cities and design products. There was a great time had by all with over 300 attendees this year!
Take a moment to visit their website and learn more about their goals for Michigan and Recycling! |
