The toaster was created by Dutch artist Wieke Somers. She uses a prototype printing machine to create these objects, mixing dead people ashes and epoxy, which get melted in layers following a 3D model.
Somers thinks that we should recycle absolutely everything, including dead people. I agree. If I die on Thursday, I want my ashes to be converted into a bowling ball. [Wieke Somers via Design Boom]
