Patented? I wonder if he knows there was Prior Art? Oh well, you know there are no patent protections there anyway.

Mr. Wu says "He hopes that one day people will be able to grow all of their furniture instead of having to buy it from a store."
That is what I've been telling the wife, finally some one backs me up, Thanks Mr. Wu.

A couple of years ago on a visit to Kew Gardens I saw an amazing display of household objects being grown from willow.
Here's a link to the Kew pages about this display: http://www.rbgkew.org.uk/gowild/features/grownhome.html and a link to the artist's own website (navigate to images>gallery 4): http://www.loiswalpole.com/ If I had the space I would love to do this sort of thing in my garden! Regards, Chris.

Christ that chair is about as useless as tits on a bull.
I'd bet it's about as comfortable as a bed of nails. Hm..on second thought. I think a pair would be handy for when the in-laws pay a visit. |
