DIY: A Water Bottle Chandelier

Filed under: Design, Eco-tech

When you’re in the market for a new chandelier to decorate your home, style is everything. Sometimes style is outweighed by design, which is the case with this water bottle chandelier designed by Michelle Brand. We’ve seen chandeliers made of all sorts of recycled junk. Ballpoint pens, CD cases and even milk crates can be used to make impressive-looking household decor and the creativity doesn’t stop there.

Artist Michelle Brand uses cut-off plastic bottle bases to shower interiors with light.  So not only is she resourcefully recycling plastic, she’s also making a bitchin’ light source for your living room.

Poufman Seats Bare No Resemblance To Pac-Man

Filed under: Design, Household

No, really. These seats are just coincidentally named Poufman, they’ve got nothing to do with the classic Namco game, Pac-Man. No relation at all. Hell, these seats aren’t even inspired by Pac-Man one bit. If anything, Pac-Man is inspired by these seats.

The designers of Italian company QAYOT were clearly eating a slice of pizza when they spawned the creation of this luxury furniture.  One of the designers took out a slice and was like, “Whoa, Poufman!” And that’s how Poufman was born. It wasn’t until later that the company heard tales of Pac-Man’s existence. So, it can’t be considered an infringement on the trademark established by Namco back in 1980. Or can it?

This Rug Could Contain Skid Marks

Filed under: Design, Household

I know what you’re thinking. Giant underwear, right? Wrong, it’s not wearable underwear, it’s a rug. Now, I can get rid of that dead bear decorating my Summer log cabin. Just lay this fuzzy under-garment down and it’ll look like you don’t give two shits about doing laundry.  It’s just $24 dollars, though I wish it wasn’t so small. I know I couldn’t fit into a pair that’s 25 inches by 20 inches. That would never even begin to cover the study in my Summer log cabin, either.

Spice Up Your Bathroom With Tetris Tiles

Filed under: Design, Gaming, Uncategorized

Tetris-themed items seem to be the latest trend in home decorating. We’ve already seen mirrors and ice trays shaped like the puzzle pieces from the classic video game, but now there are tiles that let you take Tetris into the shower. A British company is making Tetris Tiles that let you make multicolored puzzle patterns on the walls and floor of your bathroom.

Tetris Tiles are made from Italian ceramics and they can come in any Pantone color of your choosing. The tiles are custom cut, so they take up to 3-4 weeks for delivery.

Pixel Art With Perforated Coasters

Filed under: DIYs, Design, Household

You’ve got to complete the pixelated feng shui you were going for at your pad. Finally, coasters that’ll match your wallpaper and yard decorations. At first glance, these look no different than a series of coasters linked together for you to rip off accordingly. But, upon closer inspection, they turn out to be so much more than that.

Each coaster is made up of 110 individual one centimeter squares that enable you to make your own custom pixel creations out of them.  It’s art you can make yourself, for yourself.  They come in two colors: pink and blue. A stack of 50 coasters goes for around $8 bucks, which is a steal. You’ll have more coasters than you’ll ever know what to do with. So, why not give the art thing a try? You’ve got nothing to lose except your high score.

A Shower That Would Interest Michael Bay

It may seem like we’re acid heads with our tribute to Albert Hofmann but the truth of the matter is: we don’t love LSD, we merely enjoy taking it. It’s not the woman of your dreams you yearn so longingly for, but rather a short fling after karaoke night at Chauncy’s Pub. Yea, that’s exactly how LSD is. That’s also how this bathroom design makes you feel while trying to wash off your hang over the following morning.

Why Only White TOTEM is the chameleon like shower decor that’ll transform your boring vanilla bathroom into a design of ever changing colors and patterns. Depending on your mood, the design could reflect your sullen demeanor with a dark blue tone that’ll have you slitting your wrists while listening to the latest Bullet For My Valentine album. The TOTEM comes in 6 different formats with a variety of features such as water nozzles or waterfall streams. Whether your all about the flower power or you’re just plain gay, the Why Only White TOTEM is a safe alternative to the Psycho shower curtain, that’ll have you looking trendy without making you a murder suspect.

Let Your Lady Friends Know, You’re No Shovenist

Filed under: Design, Household

The female form is the most attractive in nature,” says Dutch sculptor Mario Philippona. We couldn’t agree more. After all, no one wants a sculpture of a man’s flaccid genitals decorating their home. Instead, why not a coffee table with a woman’s legs and curvy rear-end at each corner?  That’s what Mario’s been sculpting, erotic home decor inspired by a woman’s figure.  He even crafted a fruit bowl inspired by women’s breasts dubbed “Tittyfruity.”

The table lets all your friends know you aren’t a switch hitter and it lets all of your lady guests know you’re perverted. Hey, at least they won’t think you’re a misogynistic asshole.

Hippie Home Decor: Livinglass

Filed under: Eco-tech, Household

livingglass

If you’re a real Dead-head and you just so happen to be redecorating your home. Livinglass.com proposes a eco-friendly alternative to glass paneling decor. OK, so it’s not as eco-friendly as the trash recycler, but at least it isn’t hurting the environment. From the official site:

“Livinglass is the leading manufacturer of decorative transparent and translucent laminated glass panels, capturing an array of natural materials between sheets of real luminous glass. Livinglass is proud to offer ecologically responsible products which utilize recycled, recyclable and renewable resources.”

Well, it kind of hurts the environment, or plants. Shoving flowers in between panels of glass for means of preservation can’t be pleasant for the flower. The tree hugger inside of me asks you, how would you like to be preserved inside a panel of glass? How about being put in alkaline hydrolysis?

That’s what I thought.
