Bel&Bel, the company that makes furniture from cars

Many vehicles have reached the end of their life and, luckily or unluckily, they end up in the scrapyard. For motoring enthusiasts, the car graveyard is a place where we can find spare parts or components for our next dream machine, but for others it is a sad place, where authentic gems die in oblivion. However, within the automotive world we also find heroes, such as Bel&Bel, a company dedicated to creating furniture from old vehicles.

The company was founded in Barcelona in 2005, and was set up by Jesús Bel and Carles Bel, both of whom hold degrees in Fine Arts. The Spanish artists took their first steps by turning obsolete objects into functional, modern pieces with a vintage style. Over time, Jesús and Carles realised they shared a passion, the world of the automobile.

Drawing on the philosophy with which they began in the world of restoration, they applied everything they had learned to cars. Little by little, Bel&Bel grew and, as a result, presented magnificent, highly innovative and creative creations. From a sofa made from a 600 to a chair built from a Scooter, these pieces can be yours thanks to the Spanish company. They also offer the option of a complete restoration, as in the case of a 1967 Vespa Sprint 150.

The founders declare themselves lovers of classic motorcycles and that is why they always seek the opportunity to bring them back to life. When this is not possible due to their condition, they make use of those parts that can still be useful and use them for future furniture. Furthermore, one of the items most sought after and desired by the Bel&Bel public is the 600 sofa, which preserves much of the car and can be the perfect complement to the living room of a petrolhead.

The SEAT sofa is made 100% by hand and only to order, so it is a very exclusive piece. The company has used important parts of the 600 in its design, such as the front, which forms almost the entire structure of the sofa, with the only difference being that, instead of a bonnet, the seats have been placed. The rear keeps the originality of the 600, but with one major change: where the engine used to be, we find a space for storing our belongings.

Without a doubt, Bel&Bel offers an extraordinary level of originality, and the pieces they create have a very special touch and essence. Both the sofas made from 600s and the chairs made from Scooters are unique pieces that you won’t find in just any living room, and they are a unique opportunity to place in our home, as long as those who share it with us are motoring enthusiasts.
