These “short circuit” bookshelves by Alexandra DiCairano are inspired by the form of circuit boards and transform their function from housing digital information to physical information in the form of books. They could have allowed you to create series and parallel circuits of style with an additional “I shop at Radio Shack” edge, but they aren’t offered for sale. So you can only dream of what might have been.

wall outletsI have no idea what’s going on here, and chances are these vinyl stickers will confuse the hell out of everyone else as well with their nonsensical maze of wires, lights, clouds, keys, kites, a weather vane thingy and what appears to be a tuft of grass on the lower right hand side of the sticker. I’m sure it all comes together somehow, but for now I’m with that fuzzy thing perched on the string.
