They had the Cold War, we have the cold drinks. This martini table is made from a real, MK-76 bomb. Yes, disarmed. Bombs and Russian vodka don’t normally go together but in this case they’re a great pair. What better way to celebrate freedom than raising a toast over unused artillery?
Ol’ Dirty Bastard liked it raw and so do the rest of us. ODB surely wasn’t talking about industrial strength artistic metal furniture but we know that if he was still with us, he’d be down for rolling mad blunts on these natural distressed steel tables. Who wouldn’t? Source

A long time ago, it was a box that carried ammo. Now, it’s a table. What caused this transformation, you ask? Art is the answer. South African designer, Katie Thompson, “re-created” this piece, adding tapered wooden legs, which turned it from discarded military surplus to a piece of functional art with a story to tell. It’s all about vision, right?
