I suppose its a knock-off of these Philippe Starck lamps.

No one's perfect (?)

The originals were gold-leafed, which made them a tad less bling-y, but the production models are pure tacky.

dont think peters guitar was supposed to be ironic at all.

[hawkeye]

No, I miss typed, meant the ironic hipster gun shirts, vases, etc. I'm sure Tosh wasnt fucking around with his guntar.

Didn't he pull a gun on Keith Richards once?

[cheep]

yeah, he was crashing/squatting at richards place n JA while he was on tour... kieth came back, told peter to leave, and peter refused with a gun. kieth left.

peter tosh was a bad motherfucker.

[DaBestSpoona]

thats mad ghetto

[FunkyFrenchy]

Does it have anything to do with guns n' roses???

[broneck]

nope. not one bit. the guns and roses have nothing to do with guns n roses.

[ordo]

Ducky has a guitar too.

Not quite how the story goes. Keith was calling Peter to tell him to get out and the phone call went like this (according to the book "Catch A Fire"):

Keith: "I'm coming down to the house, I need it for myself."

Peter: "If yuh come anywhere near here, I'll shoot yuh."

Keith: "You'd better make sure you know to use that gun and make sure you get the fucking magazine the right way 'round, cos I'm gonna be there in half an hour"

Who knows, the truth is probably somewhere in the middle. The moral of the story is, both of them were/are nuts.

what starck has to say

P.S.:

Light, functional, affordable and elegant,

with over 100 million copies officially

produced to date, the Kalachnikov is one of the

industrial design success-stories of our age.

Mr Kalachnikov has never received any royalties

for this design. He often complains about it.

Thus, I intend to pay him a commission for the

sales of the model that replicates his invention.

Poor guy. The remainder will be donated to

"Medicins sans frontieres", though sometimes

I wonder why.

Aux larmes Citoyens

Aux armes Citoyens

Explanations:

The gold of the weapons represents

the collusion between money and war

Table Gun symbolises the East

Bed Side Gun symbolises Europe

Lounge Gun stands for the West

The black shade signifies death

The crosses on the inside are to remind us

of our dead ones.

i don't like the thing myself. starck probably wants it tacky though.
