The Godspeed design company created their new 'How to Get Famous' furniture collection as a statement against the cult of celebrity in the United States. Each piece was created from found material--trash, according to the designers--and mashed together to make something that closely resembles each type of furniture.
'How to Get Famous,' which took waste and mashed it together into a new form, is an abstract representation of culture in the US. Sounds like Godspeed maybe didn't make the cut on their last audition.
