Furniture that really is da bomb.

"Estonian sculptor Mati Karmin creates mind-blowing furniture made out [sic] from sea mines." That is all.

The pram... just check out the pram.

This stuff strikes me as very Estonian! As Bob Dylan said, Estonian when you're driving in your car, Estonian when you're playing your guitar...

The wood-burning stove is a particularly good one, I think. The pram is kinda funny, with that little string of hand grenades for baby's play.

That's fantastic! Seriously, that's my aesthetic, right there. Want.

The wife, she might not so much.

People with no artistic depth charge that these are unimaginative, but I disagree.

C'mon - It's the bomb? His designs blew me away? Loose Quips Sink Ships?

Ok that last one I blame the caffeine for.

But is it good furniture? I don't see myself getting warm and cosy with all those rusty hard edges and pokey metal bits sticking out.

I would love that hanging bar set-up at my place.

If you want to make your own, here's a pro tip, check to see that they're empty before cutting them open with an acetylene torch.

Looks like I found my keg cooler.

Dibs.

I have a fondness for low-slung chairs like this.

I'd totally get the Mine bed, and have a lady over, and be like "This is my bed, it's made out of mines from the sea" and then she'd be like "omg, are they real?" and I'd be like "Yeah, they took the explosives out--" and then in one smooth maneuver, I jump onto the bed and declare "--but we can always put them back."

Being able to say that line would SO be worth all the sex it would prevent me from actually having.

Awesome stuff. Reminds me a lot of the artistic style of Bioshock. Who knew they made big daddies out of sea-mines?

I love that desk, but I'd have to have a podium, in a cave, to do it justice. ::sigh::
The baby buggy though, was sweet.

Pretty cool. I imagine the freight cost on one of these pieces would be pricey. I'll put it in the "if I win millions of dollars" category.
