Recycle Your CDs, Build a New Seat with Panda Chair

If you're overrun with unwanted blank CDs (AOL, we're looking at you!), perhaps you can take some inspiration from Spanish designer Belen Hermosa and the Panda (??) Chair. Hundreds of blank disks come together to create this shiny, not entirely comfortable-looking chair; you might be better off just recycling them, though it does give new meaning to the words "computer chair." ::BeSpace via ::Gizmodo and ::designboom

Now I have been looking FOREVER to find useful application for used CD's - but this ain't quite what I had in mind.
Imagine sitting on this chair, the perfect gliding apparatus which should send us flying - or swiftly gliding down to the floor....very cool for parties though...should garner quite some laughs...
Did I miss something here?
;-)
I don't think I would want to sit in that chair very long.

If he's using blank cd's, how is that recycling?
How about using the same idea as slats for underneath a matress instead of wood?
Don't think I will be rushing to buy one of those. It looks good but after the novelty has worn off all you will be left with is a bad back and a very elaborate clothes rack.
All CDs on this chair are recycled...they are not blank at all....but nobody asked to the designer before publishing it...
