Recycled Cutlery Chair By Osian Batyka-Williams
the reasoning behind this sculpture quite green-washed, just to gain a bit more attention. it's like Duchamp saying he saved an old urinal to make a new water fountain for the sake of the environment.
but---
hard to recycle? no way. they're stainless steel. melt, rinse, repeat.
unwanted? any homeless shelter, soup kitchen, school, or even small restaurant would want these.
are these all welded together? I can't imagine the energy used (human, electric, and gas - in joules) required to tack each one of these together.
again, beautiful art concept. but not "sustainable design".
