Not to devalue this as an art piece, because it is very cool, but I wouldn’t exactly call it ‘green’. Sawdust is used as animal bedding, compost, compressed into pellets for wood burning stoves, and of course turned into particle board for construction. A quick google search reveals that lumber mills are selling their sawdust for as much as $50 a ton, hardly something that’s getting thrown away.

Looks like a good texture although the choc brown looks horrid perhaps a mix of several colours prestained first, some mechanical pressing would have got you a more durable surface too.

What do you mean sawdust is normally trashed? what do you think all that “flat pack” furniture they sell at wal-mart is made of? sawdust and glue.

definitely, we must find ways to save this industrial waste ( saw dust or others chips/nuggets in there that can be integrated/bonded into other eco-friendly adhesives that will not create oxidants in years to come.”let nature takes its course…”

how about the legs will be in re-cycled plastics. mineral water empty bottles are current headaches in big metropolis. other than that you go sustainanble yet cheap legs..RATTAN POLES…

It doesn’t necessarily have to be petroleum-based resin. There are renewable, biodegradable resins out there.

It’s a good idea conceptually, but the execution here is pretty weak. It’s ugly, it’s undoubtedly a nightmare to clean, and I have serious doubts about its structural integrity.

Reinforce it with crossing sticks, glaze it, sand it… something, anything!

There is nothing eco-friendly about Resin!
its getting a bit simple to just put resin on something to get it hard enough for use.
BUT its a nice chair for sure
