Some of this stuff is pretty neat, like the office chairs made from Ferrari Challenge Cup racing seats. Although I wonder about the comfort. The prices are high enough to make your eyes bleed, though.

Stings a bit.

Still pretty cool though. It's amazing how versatile it is.

Sort of a modern bamboo, but not as versatile.

I think the bench was pretty fucking impressive looking. However that office chair would also be insanely uncomfortable. I would rather have a massive comfy leather chair like one of my exes had. Her computer chair was damn comfortable, I'd know once or twice when she was ill I'd sleep in it.

It's upholstered in leather, Iceglow.

These people are just catering to rich people who have more money than sense, kinda like the gold and diamond caked ipods.

It's a lot fancier than fiberglass (http://webcache.googleusercontent.com/search?q=cache:nK9TBN50K7sJ:www.londonpressservice.org.uk/environment/renewable_energy/engineers_on_course_with_super_efficient_solar_power_boat+canadian+solar+splash+boat+team+carbon+fib er&cd=5&hl=en&ct=clnk&gl=us&client=firefox-a&source=www.google.com), though.

Yeah, that pretty much sums it up. I mean at least the bench is marginally functional.

The "stone" sculpture made by the same methods is even more outrageous to me. I guess the pricing of art is just as subjective as the art itself.

I wouldn't mind the carbon fiber belt if I had more money and less sense.

I've always wanted to spend a stupid amount of money on chopsticks. Thank you for helping me to realize this dream.
