Turn Your E-Waste into Stylish Furniture

If you own a computer there’s a good chance you have a drawer or box somewhere filled with old parts. Keyboards, mice, cables all packed away collecting dust. Designer Rodrigo Alonso must have had the same problem, only he found a creative way to use them; turn them into furniture.

Alonso takes a wide assortment of e-waste and turns them into what he calls N+ew Seats. He takes everything from everything from CDs to keyboards and combines them with an epoxy. The end result is what you see above, a unique chair which acts like an electronic time capsule.

The Chilean artist has made a few different models. In some he has chosen to keep the epoxy transparent while in others he added a hint of colour to give a dramatic effect. Check out some of the other samples below.

After looking at Alonso’s website, it isn’t clear if he’s selling the seats at this point. It appears to be more of an art project at this time.

What do you think? Do you have enough cables and keyboards laying around to create your own e-waste furniture?
