'panpaati' chairs made out of bread

enoc armengol, a spanish designer describing the 'panapaati':
'every piece forms a living, organic, natural structure, which suffers the alterations
on having interacted with the environment, humans, animals...this is food! it creates
a vital cycle, which it's born, lives, and dies without leaving rest.100% alive matter.
100% biodegradable. the work is formed by a set of common furniture, composed
by two chairs and one table, these turn automatically into the core of a synergy of shared
actions, both internal and external, that modify the initial form constantly. somehow
this installation can be a clear reflect from the actual society and production process.
fast, and the short-time life of the current, almost ephemeral furniture. nevertheless,
these pieces can also be eaten becoming part of the living process.'

Funny and well done.
Nothing more.
With the greatest respect – if somebody comes on and says that "these products can be eaten" and tries to make out that this is a serious project then they're kidding themself. It's not art, it's not design – it's just somebody making an object with a particular material / process and is a prime case of somebody trying to justify it afterwards with a really tedious story.
Yet another waste of the human mind, justified by some convoluted nonsense. "these turn automatically into the core of a synergy of shared actions, both internal and external, that modify the initial form constantly." What the...!!!!! I think some whacky tabacky was mixed in for added BS.
