Think of Chilean designer Rodrigo Alonso's N+ew seating (No More Electronic Waste) as an e-waste recycling project similar to Han Solo being frozen in carbonite. Except instead of a prized rogue smuggler frozen within, these epoxy molded piece contains a large collection of discarded computer components (or if imagination permits, droid parts). We wouldn't call them beautiful, but the chairs are a fascinating example of reuse and a reminder of how much we throw away.

The work is fascinating and a bit mesmerizing too. I might even consider buying one, as long as the price is reasonable.
