Made from real, in-service AK-47 firearms, the AK-47 Chair saw the firearms dismantled and then welded together to form the frame of the chair. The AK-47 Chair was created by the Austria-based designer after he read a book about Mikhail Kalashnikov who is the creator of the AK-47 and other well-known weapons.
