In terms of art, the Panda Chair is simply cool. But for geeks, this wouldn’t be something reasonable that having to sacrifice hundreds of blank CDs to make this chair. The Panda Chair is claimed to be assembled by using hundreds of blank CDs. Yes, blank, meaning the CDs are still useful that can let you store tons of your precious data, porn clips etc.
Anyway, there is a need to sacrifice for art. If I were the designer, I’d have tried to collect those CDs full of scratches that are hardly readable instead of blank ones to build up this artistic chair. This chair was recently being displayed at Nude Pavilion for the International Furniture Fair of Valencia. Anyway, if one day Sony had run out of business in the computer and music industry, perhaps, they could consider venturing into the furniture line with the thousand tons of blank CDs stuck in their warehouse.

All CDs in this chair are reused. Any of them is a blank CD.
The aim of this project was to reuse the CDs when they are not useful anymore…but when a website showed the pic of the chair, it was said that the CDs where blank…and they are not…
