juxtaposed

Designed by Mike and Maaike, this shelf, made from an 5"x8" hunk of salvaged hardwood, is intended to display the world's religious texts on an even level (as described by the site blankblank). I love the idea of creating a specific place for precious things. Mine would be made for Underworld, Blood Meridian, Ham on Rye...

passive aggression

This Passive Aggressive Anger Release Machine, created by Yarisal and Kublitz, is amazing! I want one in my home.
No, I don't have anger issues...

help!

Help Remedies, a simply named and simply based package design firm (at least to my understanding), offers two products: bandages and acetaminophen. But wait! Before you skip to the next post, please consider this. And the fact that in one fell swoop they have entirely wiped out my nostalgia for the old tin Band-Aid containers.

Peter Callesen

Browsing the papercut works by performance and fine artist Peter Callesen is a bit like witnessing a pop-up book artist gone completely mad. The details are stunning, the precision is intense, and I have my suspicions about whether he might actually be a laser cutter dressed up in pants.

tablecloth

This may have debuted two years ago, but it's new to me and too good to leave out.

Go ahead, act carelessly with your stemware, let your babies drink grape juice out of the "big kids" glass, be a klutz for the sake of art! This ingenious tablecloth, shown at the St. Etienne Design Biennial 2006, starts out looking like any generic white table cloth, but then develops a floral pattern when your drink tips. Talk about turning lemons into lemonade! (or red wine, in this case)
Kudos to Madeleine Montaigne. If I cry over spilled milk, they will be tears of joy.
