You can see this and other stuff by Marie-Louise Gustafsson at www.marielouise.se/projects. Some really cool things, like the 'slacker chair' and 'cosy' table...

Recycling with a twist

www.relationchip.org

VOGT + WEIZENEGGER, V+W started a project called Relationchip, where clothes with a history get a future... 'At the "RELATIONCHIP-STATION" visitors can exchange one of their garments into a prepared RFID-chip tagged garment from the station. with this act, the visitor automaticly becomes a member of the RELATIONCHIP network, leaving a statement, his portrait and his used garment at the station.'

the clothes people leave are re-designed by cj's, clothes-jockeys(!), gets tagged with the relationchip, and exchanged for the next person's garment...
