Chair made out of Playstation 2 Casing!

Here’s a really cool chair made out of Playstation 2 casings.  (What a way to recycle that PS2, I have one too but it’s not up for recycling yet until I get my hands on a PS3)

Pli Design is preparing to launch next week a line of eco-friendly chairs, made entirely of recycled PlayStation 2 console casings. The stylish Reee Chairs are also designed to be recycled again and again, doubly contributing to their environmental appeal.

“The simple idea behind the Reee chair is to produce a recycled furniture product in the UK that has style, function and durability but does not compromise its environmental credentials - so our customers don’t have to compromise theirs,” said Alex Whitney, Pli’s design manager in a news release.

Check out some of these “stone” lights that can lighten up your outdoor patio or porch.  Now, these lights are perfect for stoners.

JoBe Lighting(www.jobe-lighting.com) launched its new lighting product ‘Beckstone’ in U.S market at the Lightfair International in Las Vegas from May 28 to 30, 2008.

The Beckstone is encased in a solid block of resin, and is virtually undetectable from an ordinary pavestone by daylight.

The durability of this resin allows Beckstones the ability to withstand a variety of natural climates with strength like no other. Beckstone can withstand light traffic, frost, UV rays and all for a fraction of the cost of normal outoor lighting.

Beckstones are verstile and can be custom created to any shape and color. They are also available in a range of standard pavestone sizes. Beckstones sparkle by night but are made to be virtually undetectable from the surrounding pavestones by day.

The Czeers MK1 solar speed boat runs completely on solar power, total of 14 square meters photovoltaic solar cells mounted on all of its top surface.

The solar speed boat is supposedly world’s first solar powered speedboat.

Czeers MK1 comes built with carbon fiber everywhere for light weight and durability.

The boat’s top speed?

The MK1 can go up to 30 knots, an amazing feat for a boat completely powered by the sun with no CO2 gas or any other pollution-causing fumes.

The Czeers MK1 prototype is, as far as its Dutch creators are concerned, the world’s first solar speedboat. The Delft Technical University Solarboat Team built the original platform as an entry in the 2006 Nuon Frisian Solar challenge, which it easily won - and in the process, attracted serious investment power from Rabobank to get a full scale test boat built.
