Brooklyn’s Uhuru presented War Craft the third “local materials” collection at Noho Design District this year, taking the decommissioned USS North Carolina as their point of departure. The team, led by founders Bill Hilgendorf and Jason Horvath, drew on the theme of maritime warfare for inspiration for the four pieces, going so far as to build the “War Craft Coffee Table Wearing Dazzle” out of planks salvaged from the USS North Carolina’s deck.
The “16/45” end tables allude to “the colossal diameter and caliber of the bullets that were onboard the USS North Carolina” and can be crafted from teak or cold-rolled steel.
