They then used conventionally milled legs to create a chair that combines both a milled object and the waste created by the milling process. Dyes were added to create the pastel colors.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;The porridge-like mixture of resin and shavings was slapped on to the underside of the chair shell by hand, building up the material wherever extra strength was required,&#8221; writes van Aubel on her site.
