Check out these tables from Nine Stories -- made of old car body parts!  Whoa!  I love all the character... 

All about the limited edition else series: 

"Our latest limited edition, the elsie series, marks the studio's return to the reclaimed automotive sheetmetal work we developed in 1994 (see "liquor cabinet" in PROJECTS). 14 years later, we find ourselves once again exploring the vast landscape of the American salvage yard to collect textures and colors that only years of sun and rain can create. 

Each roof panel is chosen for its unique character, and carefully removed from the unused substructure in such a way as to preserve the original factory finish.  Over 70% of each piece in the series is made up of this otherwise wasted material.  So it is for both the obvious environmental benefits as well as for aesthetic reasons, that we find the process of "reclaiming" at the center of this new body of work."
