Coney Island is a historical landmark in New York City and was recently closed down. Now New Yorkers can buy a piece of the landmark with Uhuru's line of furniture that was salvaged from the boardwalk and recycled into usable pieces.
There are 6 pieces in total and each are designed to represent an aspect of the amusement park. There is a cyclone lounger "inspired by the Cyclone rollercoaster," a Drop End Table, "named for the Parachute Jump," a Wonder Coffee Table, a Drum Lamp "based on the concrete-filled oil cans used all over Coney Island," a Boardwalk Console and finally, a Saison Mirror.
