The alligator sofa and chair might seem as though they are made out of creepy critters, but in fact they are comprised of countless of stuffed animals. As the name gives away, they are specifically stuffed alligators. Eerily life-like, the seating is made for a haunted house of some sort. As one might have assumed, the pieces of furniture are more art than anything else.
Designed by Brazilian design brothers Fernando and Humberto Campana of, appropriately, Campana Brothers, the alligator sofa and chair is part of their first ever solo gallery show in the United States with an exhibition called Campana Brothers: Concepts. Showcasing alongside other equally mind-boggling designs, the seating is being presented at the Friedman Benda gallery, which is located in New York City.
