Other furniture makers might say that their work is the bomb, but few can say that their creations are actually made from bombs and recycled military equipment.
Farmer converts Top Gun fuel tank into home water heater
A resourceful Chinese farmer has converted a salvaged Top Gun fighter plane fuel tank into a 400-litre water heater. Thanks to a solar panel and simple thermostat, agricultural worker Feng Wang, now has enough hot water to bath his family of six. A fan of all-things-military, Wang picked up the tank from a local recycling site after scraping together some loose change. It was only later that he came up with the idea to turn the silver steel tank into a heater for his home in Yantai city, in east China’s Shandong province. link

B-52 Bomber Ejection Chair
This office chair is designed based on the B-52 Bomber’s pilot seat – a model of aircraft whose heyday was in Vietnam. A company called Moto Art has taken this battle-proven design to the front lines of modern, corporate warfare. If you demand to be taken seriously in the world of business, a good first step is to drop figurative bombs from a literal bomber seat. link
Marine Mine Desk
Other furniture makers might say that their work is the bomb, but few can say that their creations are actually made from bombs. Estonian sculptor Mati Karmin is the exception – his mind-blowing furniture is crafted from recycled sea mines. Karmin reclaims the mines from the shores of Naissaar, an island located in the Gulf of Finland and turns them into everything from chairs to desks to fireplaces to even baby prams. link
