Spanish industrial designer Enoc Armengol has designed a set of chairs and a side table... made from bread.
"Panpaati. Every piece forms a living, organic, natural structure, which suffers the alterations on having interacted with the environment, humans, animals...This is food! It creates a vital cycle, which it's born, lives, and dies without leaving rest. 100% alive matter. 100% biodegradable.
The work is formed by a set of common furniture, composed by two chairs and one table, these turn automatically into the core of a synergy of shared actions, both internal and external, that modify the initial form constantly. Somehow this installation can be a clear reflect from the actual society and production process. Fast, and the short-time life of the current, almost ephemeral furniture. Nevertheless, these pieces can also be eaten becoming part of the living process."

The dough is rolled and formed into chair and table shapes, then baked into bread. It doesn't seem like it'd be able to support any weight, but it's food, not furniture. Who'd want to sit on their lunch? Although, it's not 100% ridiculous, as it does remind many of reminds us in some ways of Injera, the Ethiopian tablecloth-sized pancake bread used for both serving and eating.
