Recycled art is really getting all the attention these days and it honestly deserves every bit of it too. It is pretty cool and it also comes with a sense of gratification that will not come even with the best and the most expensive art pieces across the planet. Of course I could sacrifice that moral high ground any day for a look at the Chapel of Sistine or a Mona Lisa, but then let us not compare those amazing pieces with everyday work. While all recycled art is good simply because it allows the planet to ease off some of the trash off of its back, it also is lovely when it involves something like cold metal.
I really have picked up a bit of liking for these cold metal sculptures in the past few months. I blame that syndrome entirely on Eco Friend though. Now we have a chair that is made out of cutlery. That is right; you can now sit on plenty of spoons and forks and have your dinner. If you happen to run short of something then you can just pick one up from the chair. Designartist Osian Batyka-Williams discovered that some restaurants change their cutlery as often as every nine months. With The Cutlery Chair he demonstrates how these hard-to-recycle, unwanted pieces can be turned into a unique piece of furniture.
Now I’m not jumping up and down at the idea of sitting on hundreds of forks and knives, but then the designer promised that she would add few cushions on the final product. Now that just feels a lot better than before.
