Garbage chair is more comfortable than your lazy-boy

A pretty interesting take on recyclable / sustainable furniture, the "XS Chair" by Nick DeMarco is a transparent chair filled with all of the garbage and recyclables you can stuff into it. The more junk inside, the more comfy the chair becomes. Although it might start to look like the junk lost between the spacs of your couch cushions have united to form a creature from the trash heap, it's still an interesting way to integrate your waste into something useful.

It's a cool idea.

@Einstein: It's called re-use and it's better than recycling because it uses less resources. With recycling you have to transport the recyclables, get it to a usable state, and then re-make it into something else.

I'm still not sure I would want it though. Maybe more for a conversation piece than anything. The biggest problem I would have with it is the noise that it would make when you sit down on it. Crunching bottles are noisy.
