Things Piled On Other Things That Become Completely Different Things



Is it just a bunch of household crap thrown together to make an ungainly bookshelf? Philistine. Of course not. It's a bunch of BURNT household crap thrown together to make an ungainly bookshelf. It's in the same price range as a Hyundai and is a shrewd commentary on object beauty and intrinsic worth. As if that weren't value enough, it also reflects the violence of our times and has a horn that can hold a fern.

It's called "Hey Chair Be A Bookshelf" and is produced by Dutch designer Maarten Baas as part of his Smoke series of burnt furniture.

So fuck you and your highly functional non or non-professionally burnt Billy bookcase. You're out and I'm in.
