Counted five units of this limitred edition throne are avaialbel for sale with a retail value of $5000. It may seem a bit pricey on first hearing but start imagining ruling the galaxy by shelling out this petty sum.

Designed and developed by architects and artists, the demand for this furniture item can well be calculated during its inviting visibility at the first auction dedicated exclusively to modern design scheduled at Christie’s this autumn.

Alright, the catchy headline might seem a big vague as in terms of functionality it’s not a Matrix Unplugged chair and rather is nuclear powered. They say that the industrial finish of the chair comes from the torpedo lifting jaws of an actual nuclear powered nautical. Actually the torpedo lifting apparatus itself was an archetype that was not at all used or bulk-produced and it is this feature only that makes the chair, an elite creation with a difference.
