This bench by Zhou Hontago is unique for a number of reasons. For one, this seater is constructed out of 1000 leather belts, which falls right in line with the second strange feature -- a bull's head. Though this bovine body part is not actually a literal bull's head, it is made of leather (close enough).
Zhou Hontago obviously is an interior designer with an imagination. This Chinese artist has created tons of non-conventional furniture pieces, all of which bear a strange beauty that only Zhou Hontago can create.
