This looks like a quick and easy way to add some life to a blank wall.

“Made from 100% sustainable recycled polyester. Handprinted and handmade in the USA with environmentally-friendly inks with no chemical waste or disposal generated. All paper waste from this process is repurposed as shredded packing material. Product is recyclable at the end of its life-cycle. Product comes fully assembled and fitted with two hangers. Triptic Set includes three 24″ x 78″ slats with one overarching design across them.”

“in their raw form, a felt rock is technically a lump of felt formed when small bits of wool fluff gather while making polishing wheels for optical lenses, spun around in a drum with them.

with steam and pressure, each stray piece of wool begins to entangle itself with others roughly creating a completely unique rock-like shape without the help of any bonding agents.

each felt rock is then carefully selected by molo and then finished through their own process.

felt rocks are solid all the way through, made out of 100% pure wool felt, and carefully dyed. they come in hand selected sets of 5 ( 2 natural and 3 grey, or 2 moss green and 3 grey ) and are packaged in a natural grey wool felt bag.

each one is completely unique with a different shape and size, although most measure around 4 – 6 inches across.”

The think I would like to live in the mind of Maxim Velcovsky. I would run, chase and play with little porceline meerkats all day.

PS. Have you seen what he did here with Jakub Berdych for Qubus?

I’m posting this more as a news piece. McDonald’s has issued a cease and desist to citizen citizen for the Ju$t Another Rich Kid and Tobias Wong gold reproduction of their coffee stir stick–which I believe was originally discontinued in the 80′s due to its prominent use for ingesting the decade’s ubiquitous party drug.

So if you want one, you better get it while the gettin’s good!

“INDULGENCES directly comments on the creation and expansion of luxury products in today’s consumer culture, this often results in the production of many unnecessary items. this series attempts of elevate everyday and in some cases disposable items into desirable object.”

I know almost everybody has seen the carved deer head, but I didn’t know there were other friends availble…Now it’s possible to have quite a collection of animal-friendly wooden trophy heads.

“No safari is required to obtain these large-scale trophy heads. Hand-carved from blocks of laminated basswood, these stylized likenesses have a keyhole hanger in the back.”

So, yeah, there’s been a recent trend of antler-esque products in the past year or two, and it’s safe to say that thankfully all of the ones I’ve seen on sites have been of the not-real variety. This particular deer head is hand-carved from blocks of laminated basswood and is sure to add some atmosphere without the anxiety of the “genuine” article.

Features removable antlers and a keyhole hanger in the back.

Head: W 16″ x H 20″ x D 9″
Overall: H 42″ x W 29″

I’m sure there’s an accompanying artist statement to this that speaks about the ills of society or something to that effect, but I just like it.

When I was a kid I used to get the balsa wood dinosaur kits and I loved them. These are a cooler version.

“Playing with the theme of ‘reinterpreting the codes of bourgeois furniture’, these designs are a modernized, almost abstract version of the trophy head, executed in triplicate.”

I can’t help liking this little bird. I don’t know how many of you like sparrows, but maybe you’d like them more if they were in porcelain on your bookshelf? You know, as a nick-nack type of thing, but better? I might have to get one just so he can be my ‘bltd’ mascot.

This would make a perfect paper weight for that special someone…

Need some decorative nonsense? Try some of these wall slats. They can be applied horizontal or vertical. And are 1/2 inch deep, wood based, primed ready for painting; peel away sticker back for easy application.

Oh, this is good. Obviously you wouldn’t want to give this to someone who takes their religion too seriously, or, maybe you would. Hopefully everyone can appreciate the fact that regardless of personal beliefs or ideologies, it’s simply a good design.

Similar to the Eames time life stool, this is turned on a lathe…only in this case the inspiration is your head. All it takes is a photo of your profile and $150.

Okay, I’ll start by saying that I hope nobody is offended by this. But it’s too good not to post, so I hope if you are offended you’ll kind of just pretend this isn’t here on our site. Alright, this here is a Bible Gun by Robert The. And I’ll quote New Museum instead of trying to explain it on my own:

“Books culled from dumpsters and thrift store bins are lovingly vandalized back to life so they can assert themselves against the culture which had turned them into debris. Unlimited edition by Robert The. Each book is signed and dated.”
