This type of furniture is becoming more and more popular, with apartment living etc, although this piece would be equally at home in any building, whether they are fancy apartments or a family house.
The material used is waste cork, from the factories where the corks are made, which is nice to know that the trees have not had their bark stripped just to become a stopper in a bottle of wine.
Materials: Pure cork (reclaimed waste material from the bottle-stopper industry), non-toxic marine-grade adhesive, and a small amount of polyurethane.
Dimensions: 72″ long x 20″ wide x 26″ tall.
Handmade by Daniel Michalik, Long Island City, NY. Priced at $4,988.00.

Here’s how it could work: you try on a special pair of Philips’ trousers, and connect up to a power source that changes the length of the wires in the fabric until the trousers have the correct waist size, inside leg and width.
