Baby carriage consists of an entire mine-shell that has been placed on a chassis of an antique hand-stroller. The hand-stroller, which has springs and rubber-coated wheels, dates back to the last century. The baby carriage is the most playful and imaginative object which isn’t shaped to be functional although this 80 kg toy rolls off surprisingly easy. The handles are made from a Soviet Union hand grenade.
Estonian artist Mati Karmin designs and crafts custom furniture from old Russian deep sea mines and sells them under the name MARINEMINE. Using historical deep-sea mines that were made in Russia in 1942 and used to fight submarines, he turns them into everything from baby carriages to bathtubs.
