Werner Aisslinger's Chair FarmDesigner <a href="http://www.aisslinger.de/">Werner Aisslinger</a> unveiled a brilliant living chair at this year's <a href="http://inhabitat.com/milan-furniture-fair">Milan Design Week</a> that is grown from the ground up instead of being produced in a factory. The <a href="http://inhabitat.com/tag/growing-furniture/">green chair</a> consists of a live plant that is growing in a specialized shape set by a steel mold. When the mold is removed, it leaves behind a naturally cultivated seat to perch upon.1
