Sure it looks like a nicely decorated home, or at least pen drawings scribbled over a picture over a blank room, but the strings from the ceiling reveal a much more interesting story -the furniture and paintings are all actually made out of colored thread.

If you’re decorating a home in the Icelandic Fish Cannery style, then you’ll definitely want the Uggi Lights by Dögg Guðmundsdóttir and Fanney Antonsdóttir. In keeping with the Icelandic tradition of hanging fish to dry, they skin cod, mold and dry them for three weeks before turning the husks into lampshades. The meat is processed normally, so nothing goes to waste.

How would a house feel like if it knew that its life would come to an end? It would throw up , according to artist Chris Whiteburch of art collective Ink Tank Lab, as shown in their art project "Last New Year" in Austin, Texas.
From Colossal:
The premise for the project was fascinating: the ensemble imagined a fictional group of people living in the home who would react to the prophesied end-of-times 2012 date. One of my favorite pieces from the show is a giant installation called The Purge by artist Chris Whiteburch who decided to imagine how the house itself would confront the impending doom. The result is a structure purging its contents, all manner of debris and structural material shooting violently through a window into a giant wooden splash.
Get your punch on and light up a room in style with this Super Mario Bros. themed coin block lamp, now with punchable on-off switch!
So, whether you want to vent your frustration, impress your goofy gamer friends, or just look as cool as possible when turning on a lamp, this super cool coin block lamp will get the job done in style.
Now, if you’ll excuse me, I’ll be in my workshop rigging this thing up to dispense mushrooms and magic flowers…

Parasites are rarely adorable, but this tiny little cabin in San Francisco certainly is.
The structure, which measures approximately W7 x D8 x H11 feet, takes on a 19th-century architectural style. Constructed from vintage building materials – it has a welded aluminum frame, with an exterior finished with 100 year-old reclaimed barn board from Ohio – the dwelling is meant to be an homage to the romantic spirit of the western myth and a commentary on the arrogance of westward expansion.
Sure it might not be lived in, but it does seem to be functional and could actually become someone’s home at some point.

The main disadvantage to getting up in the morning is compelling your body to move from a horizontal position to a vertical position. This experience has been vastly overrated and is avoided by all right-thinking people. Here’s a breakthrough design by the home design firm Dornbracht that reduces, but not eliminates, this problem. The next necessary development is a machine that moves you from the bed to the shower (and then back to bed) without any personal effort. What do you think? Would you like to use a horizontal shower?
