[COOL SHIT] Uhuru's Homage to Coney Island

Typically, I wouldn't get in line to celebrate Coney Island. 

The carnival freaks, the hypodermic needles and used condoms that flow onto the beach during high tide, the trash cans overflowing with hot dog remnants and Big Gulp containers—today's Coney Island is not the Coney Island of yore.  "Coney Island Baby" my ass, there are less women toting parasols and more gangstas toting 9mms. 

Regardless of this, Brooklyn design firm Uhuru has honored the infamous beachy neighborhood with a Coney Island-themed line of furniture for New York Design Week (this was also on display this weekend at BKLYN DESIGNS!).

This beauty is a lounge chair that calls to mind the infamous Cyclone.  Click the link above to see the rest of the collection. 

I think it's safe to say that this is as stylish as Coney Island's ever gonna get.
