This is literally a little piece of New York you can call your own (and way cheaper than an apartment in Manhattan!). This chair is crafted from actual pedestrian crossing lights used in New York. I can’t imagine finding a more original chair than this and you just know it’s going to be a conversation piece for years to come. So grab your own piece of modern art with the Don’t Walk chair and then park your butt on a little chunk of New York City.

“Well before The New York Times called him “one of 30 artists who will change our culture,” Über-artisan John Carter was combining provocative insights with a whimsical approach that makes art work as social commentary. Always pushing to engage minds and provoke thought, John’s current focus is on edgy interior designs, eye-opening displays, and interactive, animated sculpture.

The self-described “guerilla street artist” starts with a real, working New York City “Walk/Don’t Walk” sign with all the genuine scuffs and stains of its New York City roots. He makes the legs from reconfigured, customized steel street sign brackets, with galvanized, heavy-duty self-leveling feet. Seating surfaces have been reglazed with one-inch-thick polished resin, and cushioned with felt suspension. The one-of-a-kind chair plugs into a standard 115V AC wall outlet and includes a remote control to turn the signs on and off.”
