'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.'

Two croissants, 3 doughnuts and a bread chair please!
Jim   03.04.10
haha! these are so funny... they're great objects
mod-Ernest   03.04.10
if we're talking about the short life of products though, how much energy does it take to produce these!? look how inefficient they are, how much room they take in the oven!
mod-Ernest   03.04.10
paint it primary colors and you have maarten baas's clay series. a different use of material doesn't excuse an obvious copy of form.

Funny, but reading the statement braids my stomach.
Donald   03.04.10
+ negating the first two, all the other commentators are missing the point, space in the oven??? I mean, really, its art?
donald   03.04.10
this is over marteen bass, this is a piece with a life
nina   03.05.10
can "also" be eaten?
karl   03.05.10
are you f@#king serious!? If this is furniture than I'm going to buy it, eat it, and sh!t it out. Then I too can make furniture.

good luck sculpting your shit my friend. that is an entirely unexplored craft... you might want to try to dress it up in the end, otherwise it would be just vile.
you can't sit in your chair and eat it too.   03.05.10
It is an exercise.
Funny and well done.
Nothing more.
Radu   03.05.10

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.

finally an idea that isn't half baked
dough boy   03.05.10
Hey guess what kids, I'm gonna make a chair out of butter and call it the Butt-er chair.... get it!

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.
