Inspired by old-school New York gangster movies, designer [Sebastian Errazuriz](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/agrob-buchtal) crafted [a chair](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/introvert-chair) that is a convenient piece of weapon-hiding furniture.

In the United States, where it seems like everyone and their grandma has a handgun, this type of chair should be flying off the shelves with its detailed revolver carving discreetly hidden underneath the seat. It is said that home invaders and armed robberies often involve the owner's weapon being used against them, if they stored their gun in such a [well-hidden place](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/zoom-chair), they would be at an immediate advantage.

It may make you feel more comfortable to know that a firearm is ready and within arm's reach right under your chair while no one else has any clue with this Sebastian Errazuriz Gun Chair.
