i3 Labs’ designer Lily Suh created this $1,970 Full Moon Odyssey Floor Pillow in collaboration with astrophotographer Chin Wei Loon. The mattress is composed of 26 segments of lunar images taken by Loon in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia on January 29th, 2010 using a 6 inch telescope and DMK CCD camera. There is also a companion full-moon shaped cushion entitled “nocturne by moonlight” which glows in the dark and is made up of 65 individual frames of lunar mosaic images taken by astrophotographer Norbert Rumiano from Nantes in west France on February 23rd, 2005.

What does the moon smell like? Well, the general consensus among the very few that have made the journey is that it has a strong gunpowder aroma. With the help of Apollo 16 astronaut Charlie Duke and flavorist Steven Pearce, artist Sue Corke nailed down the smell and had it converted into ink that was used to create a very limited edition of scratch and sniff moon prints.
Only 300 prints are being made available at prices that range from $55 to $428 (sold through Edinburgh Printmakers), so it might be more cost effective to just light a match.

You already have the Three Wolf Moon shirt (or a variation on it), so why not add an extra layer of internet meme insulation this winter with the wolf howl moon blanket?

If you are tired of all your lawn ornaments disappearing, there are really only two possibilities. One is the neighborhood kids and two is those damn Gnome Be Gones. Since there is only so much you can do with a neighbor’s child, send the Gnome Be Gone to the moon. If you still have a problem, just tell those bratty little kids that they are next.

These are definitely the coolest rugs I have seen. The detail is amazing, especially considering they are rugs. If it weren’t for the exorbitant prices, they would be great for a kid’s room. But at these prices, using them in a formal living room would be about the only choice.
