Marco Castillo and Dago Rodriguez, better known as Los Carpinteros ("The Carpenters") are two Cuban artists who designed furniture masquerading as fantastic works of art.

Frontline/World has a few examples of their work, including the Estuche (a jewelry case made to look like a hand grenade) and Mano Creadora or Creative Hand (a chest of drawers made to look like an open palm): Link - via k-fresh designs

    If you like cool furniture you will love the wonky cabinet made in Guelph Ontario. I first saw them one day when I was walking through the downtown mall and there was an artisan’s fair. Here’s a link: http://www.masterpiece.on.ca/large_wonky.htm I want to get one but I don’t have one yet.
