The new object gains something more as a result of it's previous life. Practically though this is a school and office chair and we cannot explicitly advertise playstations to kids in class!

With new versions of computers, games and appliances coming out all the time, it's great, and inspiring, that clever people find ways of recycling them into cool and innovative products. But agree with Hun - shame you can't tell they're recycled from PS2 just by looking at them - might give them the x-factor.
