120404 - Gregg Lynn’s Recycled Toy Furniture, 2008

“These are the first generation prototypes of high technology scavenging of recycled plastics for furniture. The objects include four different sized tables with plastic Panelite tops, a low bench, a storage wall, a coat rack and cylindrical shoe closet. Reinventing the brick: I have been preoccupied with recycling my kids toys into walls, furniture and usable objects; using their toys as bricks. This led me to design a plastic brick called the Blobwall© system of construction. The Blobwall© is the first plastic brick that brings everyday life into a building scale masonry construction system. Now we are literally using toys as bricks and we have found a way to scan, design, fabricate and construct walls of recycled toys. These objects are lightweight and bear their own weight. The Recycled Toys do not use the labor or expertise of masonry and the wet forgiving technology of mortar to become level and true. Instead, they are laser scanned and digitized into a computer, they are designed and arrayed like bricks, their intersections are defined as cutting paths, a robot cuts their joints and connections with precision. They do not rest on mortar joints, they are not even glued; the toy bricks are welded together with a tool used to repair car fenders.”
