Cutlery Chair

Vcvbmcv

Created by Osian Batyka–Williams (above, seated on it), a design student at Kingston University in London, this chair (below) caused an immediate sensation when he unveiled it as his senior project this past spring.

It's made from over 150 knives, forks and spoons discarded by restaurants and charity shops in South West London and patiently collected over a six–month period by Batyka–Williams.

It went from Kingston's annual Faculty of Art, Design and Music Degree Show directly into [Re]design's exhibition at this year's London Design Festival, one of 100 objects chosen as "good as well as gorgeous."

Heck — I'd be happy with either one.
