Every year DWR hosts a contest to find the public's most well designed chairs - the catch is that they must be made out of the cage, cork, and foil of no more than two champagne bottles. Check out this years winners after the jump...

I look forward to this challenge every year. I've never entered, but enjoy seeing all of the creative designs. I can't wait to check out the whole collection at my nearest DWR.

...and if you mess up, you get to open another two bottles of champagne. My kind of contest!
