The point is that this is timeless. What's 'in' or 'out' right now doesn't matter. Jeez.

  Does being made of wood make it inherently more timeless than if it was made of aluminium? How about if it was chiseled out of stone? You associate a certain style with timelessness, whether you like it or not, while someone else might not. The "/so/ out right now" bit was intended as a joke, btw.

    I look at it and think "That must be really heavy." I don't care about heirloom technology. But I would love to see very much better recyclability. I suppose at some point we'll have waste-free nano-replication, and the idea that things are built and stay built will seem as quaint as comparing a wattle and daub hut to modern architecture.

    I mean, if it were made out of stone it would still make for a nice paperweight long after the components are obsolete.

    No, you can make a timeless design with or without wood. The point is it would look equally at home in any time, or at least anytime from now into the future.
