OK, so a chair made of newspapers may not be the most comfortable for watching TV or reading a novel-I've got a well-worn club chair at home that's perfect for that. And for sentimental value, there's a weathered stone and tile bench in my backyard that recalls a Miami Beach childhood, and is visible in the home movies of my babyhood. But sentiment and comfort notwithstanding, I spend my life surrounded by newspapers. Not always comfortable or sentimental, newspapers are just, well, interesting. And useful-at least we try to make them so.

So why not put them to further use and turn them into a seat from which to view the world?

In my experience, at least, they've never failed to deliver an ever-changing and never boring, vintage point.
