alandia-fairy-lamp

Even if you can’t get your hands on any absinthe, you can still have visions of the green fairy thanks to this lamp from Alandia. Apparently, each model is hand crafted from bronze and Tiffany glass in accordance with an original produced by artist Paul Behrens in 1923. As the product page suggests, I have to imagine a room filled with the green light produced from this lamp has to be pretty damn trippy.

Okay, so it’s felt bacon—but this iPhone case still reminds you of bacon (and we always want to be reminded of those we love). Plus it probably still tastes better than tofu.

Matryoshka dolls or nesting / stacking dolls consist of a wooden figures that fit one inside the other—a Russian tradition that dates back to 1890. Famous politicians have always been a popular subject, which is why an Obama-themed version should come as no surprise. The hand-painted designs even incorporate folk-art touches for added authenticity.

Inspired by “the retro designs of old bowling alleys, diners and tine toys from the 30’s through the 60’s” artist Toby Fraley has designed a line of whimsical robot lamps that are sure to delight and confuse all who gaze upon them. Each design is handmade out of mostly recycled parts so don’t be shocked when you see the price (you are paying a hefty “art” premium). Other designs in the series are pictured after the break.

The TV Remote Pocket Pillow Will Ruin Your Back

March 17, 2008

I’ll admit that an illustrated pocket pillow for a remote control is a fairly clever idea—after all, most remotes go missing in the vicinity of the couch. However, after the remote digs into your back for the millionth time, you will probably regret being stupid enough to pay $116 for a damned pillow in the [...]
