My New Rug Crushes

From the "Losanges" collection by Ronan & Erwan Bouroullec for Nani Marguina
For once, I've found a piece of design I like not because it looks more sophisticated than me, but because it looks like my house - all threadbare rugs and old paintings.

Do I really have to explain why I love this one? Can you not just see the slightly off symmetry, the interesting concept and the way it's slightly creepy, like a giant eyeball?

Enchanted Doll and the magical realm of pretty creepiness.

This is the 20 to Midnight doll from the Enchanted Doll range. Just watch her blank, staring eyes and she reclines naked, wondering why you are staring at her grossly deformed head. She is sucking out your soul.
These are genuinely real, not just computer animations. You can order your own. If you really want an incredibly realistic and intricate doll. With incredibly intricate and realistic...umm... nipples.

Yeah, these are definitely not kids toys.

These are metal shoes you can get for your enchanted doll. They come in four styles, Extravagance, Persian Slippers, Marie Antoinette and Hopscotch. Yeah, no clothes, but REALLY GREAT SHOES!
The thing is, I actually find these really pretty and would love one, but I would probably have to destroy it after a while because of the fear that it would come alive and murder me.

Amy Sol

This is Amy Sol's pottery. Her designs are slightly weird, very ethereal and always beautiful.

And as you may have noticed, she has a thing for this girl with dark hair and closed eyes. It's highly likely that a generation of emos have taken, or will take, her pictures and use them as their MySpace backgrounds, but for me, they will always be gorgeous. Even if they do make me think of annoyingly depressing Luke in my maths class.

Because, dammit, what very office needs is a more male-dominated feel

The idea of this office is that it moves away from the modern concept of "having fun while working" and "making friends with your co-workers" and goes back to the traditional Victorian concept of "Men in dark suits playing cards and laughing at poor people."

Did I mention that it's for an investment bank? The last people you would want to give those attiudes to, considering the recent economic crisis?
