Artist Rainier Weber has created a 22K gold plated chair made up of genuine, formally still in service AK47 rifles that serve as the chair legs and armrests for the seat. The framework of the chair plus all dismantled parts were gold-plated and ultimately put back together. The chair which is priced at $127,000, is upholstered in luxurious hand woven fabric from London and Venice. The chair is pictured alongside a couple of accessories including an AK47 Falcon seat in gold, an original Russian steel helmet and even a cartridge belt with original AK47 cartridges. Apparently the artist got inspiration from a book about Michael Kalashnikov.
