recycled toy furniture video

This is the video from the recycled toy furniture project that I worked on this past summer at Greg Lynn's office. The project was exhibited at the Venice Biennale and won the Golden Lion award for best installation.
While the actual toys used in this project were not recycled, the idea is for them to be in the future. At the office we have digitized versions of several different plastic toys, which can allow us to custom make any piece of furniture from our library of toys. Since each toy is individually cut via robotic arm, the complexity of the overall composition is almost irrelevant. As an idea I think this is quite provocative and forward thinking, but it is still in the early stages of implementation.
