Bridging the gap between two luxury industries, renowned car manufacturers have and continue to collaborate with trending streetwear brands to shed light on a whole new community of collectors and enthusiasts. Mercedes-AMG just partnered with MSCHF to present an unconventional collection of design pieces during the 2025 NYCxDesign Festival. Best known for its offbeat approach, MSCHF brings its signature style of everyday objects to this partnership, using original parts from AMG models. The result is a collection titled “Not for Automotive Use,” featuring items like lamps, shelves, chairs, and a working grill, all built around recognizable AMG car parts.
Inspired by Italy’s 1960s Radical Design movement, the collection combines performance materials with sculptural furniture. The idea explores repurposing automotive design for domestic settings. A seatbelt activates a standing light. AMG headrests have been reimagined as desk chairs. Wheels, grilles, and upholstery materials are reshaped into objects like a couch and floor fan. Though engineered with functionality in mind, the pieces also take shape as conceptual works. Rather than focusing on performance, the project focuses on reinterpretation, shining light on performance and design through a new lens. All items are limited and made to order.
Alongside the furniture collection, a limited capsule of merchandise includes apparel and accessories featuring prints of AMG parts. MSCHF collaborated with the AMG design team in Affalterbach, Germany, to develop both collections. The exhibit takes place at MSCHF’s Greenpoint, Brooklyn studio, which has never been open to the public until now.
