Whenever you construct something in a natural unspoilt countryside setting, you aim to gently blend into the environment and avoid creating something that may become a contentious eyesore. These old French weathered and bleached railway sleepers look as natural as the rocks themselves, and go a long way towards blending into the hillside. The railway sleepers are cut into the hillside above Lavigerie, a small village located in the centre of France. It has a population of 102 and is located in the department of Cantal of the french region Auvergne

Esperance is a small isolated town on the south coast of Western Australia with a population of 12,000 people, surrounded by deserted beaches, national parks, heathands and wild flowers. On the promenade there are benches made from new hardwood railway sleepers. Bolting new or used railway sleepers to a steel frame, to create a long lasting bench or solid table is a simple yet eye catching way of creating sturdy furniture. Especially in a sunny country where outside living is the norm!
