Bench made of 1000 belts

Two-ended bench: one end is a "belt buckle" functions as an end table. Cross the wall, the other end is a bull's head made of chair parts and belts.
Reuse 1000 belts, rethink over-consumptions, rethink animals and trees.
All belts are collected/donated in Madison in Wisconsin.
They have ties with local people,each one holding a personal story. Each town could have one for belt collecting, exchange or gathering in public space.

From wikipedia: “Suzani is a type of embroidered and decorative tribal textile made in Tajikistan, Uzbekistan, Kazakhstan and other Central Asian countries. Suzanis usually have a cotton (sometimes silk) fabric base, which is embroidered in silk or cotton thread. Chain, satin, and buttonhole stitches are the primary stitches used. There is also extensive use of couching, in which decorative thread laid on the fabric as a raised line is stitched in place with a second thread. Suzanis are often made in two or more pieces, that are then stitched together

Popular design motifs include sun and moon disks, flowers (especially tulips, carnations, and irises), leaves and vines, fruits (especially pomegranates), and occasional fish and birds.”
