storage...of a sort

This is a fantastic idea... I've always had a chair in my bedroom which in turn inadvertently becomes my main form of storage... so why not design storage like a chair?

Planters...

You can never have to many plants around it seems, and if they are fantastically alternate and interesting in nature, then well how could you possibly go wrong (thinks of little shop of horrors momentarily)

so when i saw these by AURELIEN ARBET and JEREMIE EGRY well i was a little impressed...

This one is definitely my favorite (i love the use of unwanted books), although i cant help feeling a little guilty when defacing a book, i have deep reverencey for even the most humble of books... weird ai?

This one isn't without merit however, and would look epic in an explorer themed room...

Sand dollars

I love the look of these things, I love the idea of a bowl of these things on a dining table, a scattering of them on sideboards or even a framed display
