Uhuru Design sind Möbel-Designer aus Brooklyn, die gerade eine "Coney Island Line" veröffentlicht haben. In ihren Worten:

Uhuru, a Brooklyn-based furniture design company dedicated to sustainability and local craftsmanship, is pleased to announce the launch of its second "local materials" line for New York Design Week, May 7-18. The new Coney Island Line is crafted from reclaimed wood taken from the demolished iconic boardwalk. The Ipe wood, first installed on the boardwalk in the late 1940's, has weathered in the sun, salt, and snow for 70 years. The design is inspired by the duality of Coney Island- its whimsical, colorful summers and melancholy winters. The pieces interpret the architecture of the desolate dreamscape: low-rise buildings patched with signs and seasonal layers of paint, beneath the towering old-fashioned rollercoaster. The line consists of six limited edition pieces, and Uhuru will produce only ten of each design due to the finite nature of the wood.

Ich habe mir einen Cyclone Lounge Chair gesichert (es gibt nur 10 Stück!)
Leider liefern sie nicht und ich muss das Ding selber verschiffen. Kostet mich zwar ein Vermögen, aber dafür habe ich kein Tattoo...
