Mushroom Furniture

Posted on February 20, 2009 Under Design

A while back, in the heyday of ReadyMade, we learned how to build furniture into our lawn. Now, Shinwei Rhoda Yen has taken that concept a step further. By implanting mushroom spores into the furniture wood, it eventually sprouts into … mushrooms. Eventually, the mushrooms will completely take over and destroy the functionality of the furniture, but you don’t buy outdoor pieces expecting they’ll last, do you? No word yet on whether the ‘shrooms are edible or have magic powers.
