As the city goes about replacing parts of the decaying Coney Island boardwalk with charming concrete, a Red Hook design firm has reclaimed pieces of the old ipe wood for a "Coney Island line" of furniture. Uhuru Designs is debuting a Wonder Wheel Coffee Table, a Boardwalk Console, and a Cyclone Lounger, all made from bits of the old boardwalk. The lounger will set you back $7,200, but unlike the Cyclone, you probably won't have to worry about fracturing any vertebrae while sitting on it. You can give it a test run this weekend when St. Ann's Warehouse in DUMBO hosts the BKLYN Designs fair, featuring loads of design-related events.
