Yanko Design featured Alexander Reh, who designed this chair which is for sale now. Alexander coined it "Fully Loaded" as it has more than 400 shotgun shells. He claims that the bright brass caps give a soothing massaging sit, but I fear you will find yourself sitting as on needles, although reportedly the shells are not loaded.
The US based artist graduated in 2001 with a BFA in Design from The University of Texas in Austin and in 2006 with a Masters in Industrial Design from the Pratt Institute.
