For those of you wondering, the couch yesterday was made of…

by Jennifer Chait on February 5th, 2008

6,400 nickels.

Johnny Swing, sculpture, welder, and all around imaginative guy, welded the couch out of nickels after finding the penny medium tough to crack - although, he did eventually sculpt a penny chair as well. It took 300 hours and weighs 125 pounds.

He also has an intriguing, and strangely beautiful, baby food jar chair (96 jars were used):

The recycling aspects of art like Swing’s is incredible when you think about it. This is reuse at one of it’s finest hours if you ask me.

Swing has so many delightful objects at his site that you really do need to visit - sit back, take a look, and be amazed.
