Here is a collection of furniture that is sure to raise controversy. This infernal set from Michel Haillard is said to be inspired by the the passion for hunting and features a variety of items, from home desks to chairs, armchairs and sofas. This is a type of uncommon collection that produces mixed interpretations and stirs a large variety of opinions. Some people may enjoy these designs along with their quality and opulence, others may be shocked by the real tusks and fur which they feature. Because you should know these products were created by using most dire materials from crocodile skin to fangs belonging to wild animals. Complemented with wood, bronze and silver, these items are given the shape which you see below. Every piece is unique and the firm usually takes on a projects by receiving some dead animal’s skin from their customers and turn it into this type of furniture. We are extremely curious to find out what your opinions are on this practice and particularly this furniture collection.

Maybe they are comfortable.But it is so inhumane!
Beautiful and very creative work, as an aspiring furniture designer I am very inspired by your shapes and silhouettes for these, especially the chaise lounges made out of, crocodile? Well done.
However..
lotttts of dead animals eh? pretty evil, seems to be the point tho. u_u.
Ideal for the ‘authentic’ african experience…….mix with one of these tents and you have the perfect scenario:
Very very psychotic designer. Your work is antiecologic.
Animals die all the time, just like humans do. One needn’t assume that the artist is having these animals killed for the sake of furniture design. Taxidermy is not just about hunting – that’s such an ignorant misconception.
I also disagree that this art is anti-ecologic. These are all natural materials. What’s truly anti-ecologic is using plastics and other man-made materials.
People need to think a bit more, as this all just comes across as reactionary, irrational negativity against some of the most beautiful, compelling, creative work I’ve seen in a very long time.
It’s the latest style for the Viking Elite!
I… Love… These… And that’s saying alot from an animal lover like myself. Then again, I do feel sorry for the creatures that died to make these… So compelling though!
Atrociously appealing? No . . . just atrocious!
i just love this.. amazing stuff!
I am against using the parts of animals for making ordinary, common objects, but for making really, great art we can sacrifices animals. Like they sais: the end justifies the means.
horror
Mave, when you have gone lets put your bones to some use and make a coffee table. Appalling to think we have the right…Whats next… I hate to think.
His furniture is quiet scary to look at. My kids would run a mile if they walked into a room and seen this!
@MAVE
You should put a horn in your ass, stupid bitch!
This stuff looks like it should be on the set of Conan the Barbarian.
If someone made a cool coffee table out of my bones when I’m gone, I think that would be awesome! There’s no better compliment than to become a work of art.
These designs have a very intriguiging, twisted, fairy tale-chicness. I think they show a alot of creativity on the part of the designer. THat being said, I’m pretty sure I will never own a zebra chair or an armadillo coffee table.
Kudos to Mave for a well thought out, intelligent response. @HUM Mave’s considered response does not make her a “stupid bitch.” In fact your hateful comment might make you one.
Absolutely beautiful.
might be good as movie props, otherwise it looks meh
I love animals, own a few and support rescues etc. But I find these pieces absolutely beautiful. This is real art,
“To crush your neighbours, to see them driven before you, and to hear the lamentations of their animals.”
Is it not better to use more of the animal to make the furniture than leave more useless chunks to rot? It is so hypocrite to think that this is outright cruel. Where do you people think leather jackets or leather shoes come from? Yup. Animals. I can not tell if the animals used in these fine pieces of decorative furniture are near extinct ones or are they made of any kind of animals at all, but i sure don’t support ‘useless’ killing of a near extinct animal. Maybe the materials were found dead?
It looks like furniture that Lady Gaga could wear.
It looks AMAZING!!!, but i hope they collect these skins and horns from already dead animals or its the most irresponsible genius i have seen.
