not for automotive use: MSCHF recycles parts of mercedes-AMG's sports car into furniture
Briefly

During NYCxDesign Week 2025, MSCHF presented 'Not for Automotive Use', an exhibition repurposing parts of a Mercedes-AMG sports car into unique furniture. This marks the first time the art collective opened its Greenpoint workshop to the public, showcasing creative pieces that include a chair made from seatbelt straps, a ping-pong table, and an electric fan from a tire. The exhibition pays homage to Italy's Radical Design movement, drawing inspiration from iconic designer Achille Castiglioni. Each piece exemplifies custom design that transforms automotive components into functional art, challenging conventional uses and interpretations.
The exhibition features furniture crafted from Mercedes-AMG parts, showcasing creativity by transforming automotive components into functional art pieces beyond their original purpose.
