A perfect symbiosis between nature and industrial design. If you love being in the outdoors, camping or just sitting by the campfire. You’ve been longing to have that campfire feeling for your home but without smelling like a burnt cinder. Now it is all made possible by Ponton from Frankfurt Germany. This company understands it well how to bring nature and design concept together.
The fire is created though burning bio-alcohol which provides you with nearly 1,5 – 2,5 hours of a lovely flame. It can be set up indoors as well as outdoors. Fire proof glass and stainless steel make it a great piece to look at in any home. A little steep for my pocket but for those yuppies out there this might be just what you are missing.

You just have to love this T-shirt by Wendy at Wire and Twine the real play station via (Geekware) I think it is just sweet.
From a fashion designer to a furniture designer Pharrell does it all besides being a hiphop artist. Now collaborating with the french designers Domeau & Pérès he presents you “Perspective.” This chair with four legs literally, is a representation of the love between a woman and man. If you look closely or is it just my imagination it looks a little x-rated “doggy style”, like the woman is getting it from behind. Well, I guess that’s just my “Perspective” if you know what I mean. It will be available in a few colors and only 4 of each will be sold. For more information check out the Billionaire Boys Club. (via We heart stuff)

In Germany Schrerenschnitte – paper cuts – as they are called are seen during Christmas and on various other holidays like St. Martinstag, present you beautiful, detailed, storytelling pictures.
Rob Ryan, an artistic genius from London, creates paper cuts and screen prints has stories to tell, too. I’m amazed at the wonders done with a knife as seen here on the skirt design created exclusively for Clothkits. The kit contains this a one of a kind, hand silkscreen printed, fabric design, thread, zip and instructions for cutting and sewing. Or just hang it up in your apartment.
I can only imagine, how many hours were spent cutting away at these shown here. If you would like to purchase other creations from Rob you can go to the etsy shop and check them out. (via angry chicken)
