Triumph Motorcycles green-lit the project in collaboration with the Birmingham Institute of Art and Design. The challenge? To have up-and-coming designers design [household products](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cameo-1) made entirely out of [motorcycle parts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/moto-machines). Some of the creative designs have ranged from weight scales to corkscrews, but the turntable is definitely the most bad-ass.
