Fun Stuff

Can't seem to bring the trailer home on your travels all over the world? Well Caravan Hotel in Berlin brings all the comforts of a trailer to your hotel suite...now all you need is a 40 oz of German beer, your undershirt, the tattoo that says 'I may be lying in the gutter, but I'm staring at the stars' and a pair of denim cutoffs to complete the picture...


On a serious note,  please check out this Art House at the Jones Center in Austin, Texas - a hybrid of  store and a 1920's theater.

Okay-okay,  I can't help it, let's get back to the questionable design aesthetic for a little fun.
If you are depressed and wondering about ending it all, you may not want the next light pendant.
The Manila Rope Light from Atelier 688 in Toronto, is simple in design but a little daunting when seen on display. 


I'm not going to make fun of this next item, I love the idea, this is the Training Locker for children by Peter Bristol:


Lastly, Volkswagon has come up with some new eco-friendly advertisment, in fact it's so natural you can eat it, you are actually invited to... It's comprised of glutinous rice flour, water, salt, propylene glycol, FD&C color and glycerin so that it is safe for eat.
