# Shotgun Shell Chair Fully Loaded Furniture By Happy Hotelier | Published 2007-10-16 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/shotgun-shell-chair References: [chairblog.eu](http://www.chairblog.eu/2007/10/15/shotgun-shell-chair/) & [alexanderreh](http://www.alexanderreh.com/) [Yanko Design](http://www.yankodesign.com/index.php/2007/10/11/fully-loaded-chairs-now-available) featured [Alexander Reh](http://www.alexanderreh.com), 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.
