As much as I've been falling in love with furniture made out of recycled materials and furniture that you can mail to yourself ,  this adorable chair-and-foot-stool set is the perfect EcoGeek guilty pleasure item, because it's cute as a button and made out of plastic drinking straws.

 

 

 

Offered in limited supply are the chair, stool, partition, and my personal favorite, a lampshade.  Sometimes the furniture-out-of-unexpected-items seems like a good idea, but I'm trying to imagine sinking into a series of drinking straws after a long day of work. A lampshade, however, could be an adorable creation for drinking straws that otherwise are headed to the land fills.
