A Belgian eco-designer has begun to repurpose tennis balls into bespoke furniture.

Mathilde Wittock and her team can hand carve 1,800 balls per day into micro-cushioning elements for a chaise lounge and a bench.

Wittock receives donated tennis balls from sports clubs like the Federation of Wallonia in Belgium , which recently gave over 100,000 used tennis balls.
