Well, we sure did not see this coming! MSCHF, the Brooklyn-based creative collective best known for its viral, unconventional, and often satirical projects (that sometimes money can buy), actually launched a furniture collection with—believe it or not—AMG. Yes. The AMG, the tuner of high-performance vehicles.
The AMG x MSCHF Furniture Collection, dubbed Not For Automotive Use, repurposes individual AMG car parts as components in furniture design objects. The collection is only available from amgxmschf.com from May 15 through May 31, 2025.
This being an MSCHF collection, you can expect nothing conventional. I mean, we’ve seen automotive parts repurposed into furniture—like the racing seat office chair, a Lamborghini Aventador front-end desk, a sofa made from the front of a Porsche 356 and AC Cobra, and more. Compared to those, the Not For Automotive Use collection is borderline art. How else do you describe a chair made up of three AMG headrests other than as functional art? It doesn’t even look like a chair (cool, nonetheless, if I may add).
Or how about a high-tech, lab-cross-janitor room shelf with cross braces and supports made out of AMG seatbelts? There’s a similar item that’s a rack instead of a shelf unit. And there’s the long charcoal grill patterned after an AMG GT front grille (yes, really!), and a seatbelt that boasts inline LED tubes that turn on/off by—wait for it—buckling and unbuckling the seatbelt, which is on a spring-loaded retracting spool. The LED may be the coolest piece in this collection.
The use of the seatbelt does not stop there. It shows up in a table called—well—Seatbelt Table. The table boasts a milled, anodized aluminum top set on a tubular steel base and detailed with an AMG seatbelt. Can’t get enough seatbelts? Well, if so, you are in luck! There’s a chair with a seat and back made of—you guessed it—AMG seatbelt, complete with a buckle attached to an offset base. That, my friend, is one hell of an art piece.
At this point, you might be wondering: what about the other iconic car parts haven’t been repurposed? If you’re thinking sports wheels and gas and brake pedals… well, they’ve been repurposed too. The former, represented by an AMG Interlagos Rim, has been turned into a fan set on custom chocks within an anodized aluminum base. The latter became the pedals for opening an anodized aluminum trash can with a likely over-engineered opening system. But why two pedals? Well, here’s why and how it works:
Gas pedal: open/close, long press to stay open.
Brake pedal: close lid from open position.
I am pretty sure this is a seriously over-engineered trash can.
Remember the headrest from the car seat? There’s more of the seat to be repurposed—specifically, the seat back, which has been cut out and turned into a hanger, aptly called Seat Back Hanger.
Last but not least, there’s the couch—aka sofa. Because a furniture collection is never complete without a couch. Called the Headlight Couch, the star car parts here are in the name: the headlights. This deep lounger is finished in Dinamica suede and boasts functional embedded headlights—turn signaling included. Why? Because.
Prices for these products are “inquire for purchase,” which means it’s price on request, which also means: you better have a big, fat account before you start asking.
