Sofa so good

Viper sofa

You’ve seen it on the telly but where can you buy furniture made from car parts?

The answer, somewhat improbably, is silicon hose supplier Viper Performance, who decided to commission several pieces – including the V6 engine block coffee table and rear seat sofa – both of which came from an old Alfa. These have turned out to be so popular that the company has put them into small-scale production. Just the thing for your waiting room – or, if your other half gives you the go-ahead, perhaps even for your living room at home?
