Some trends come and go, but it’s a pretty sure bet cuckoo clocks are here to stay. This white one has some great detailing that’s sure to add some character to whatever room you put it in.
“This modern cuckoo clock is artfully detailed in white washed wood and comes complete with stag head decoration, pine cone weights, swinging pendulum, and a cucoo bird that emerges on the hour to flap its wings and make its call. This nostalgic remake is quartz battery powered with an on/off option for the electronic cuckoo call. A charming tribute to its European origins. Uses 2 D batteries (not included).”

Plastic heat-shrink tubing makes each of these seemingly delicate vases flexible.
The skin series vases are made of a heat sensitive plastic that when in contact with temperatures above 250 degrees will shrink in size. At first glance the vases appear to be made of a thin fragile porcelain, however once the vase is picked up it’s found to be soft and flexible. Because each vase is hand made and produced individually no two are exactly alike, however they all retain similar characteristics allowing the size and style of any vase to fit in with all the others.
7″, 6″, and 4.5″
$12.00 each,

By the same designer of the
Mirave & Miru Mirrors, these crazy miniature chairs are covered with soft animals, or to be more precise, crabs (crustaceans) and manta rays (vertebrata). While altogether bemusing, it’s odd that it should only be used for decorative purposes…I’d like to see how someone would instruct a kid to ‘see and not touch’ one of these. That being said, of course I can see how these chairs would be solely an objet d’art for a collector.
Manta Ray Chair: €787 or $1,210.00 (approx),
Buy it here.
This playful miniature chair has been handcrafted from chestnut wood and soft toys. The wicker seat is covered with cuddly sea characters. Stuffed with bean-bag beads, the manta rays have a painted print to create a textured effect. This unique miniature chair has been created exclusively for CoutureLab.
Crabes-Langoustes Chair: €836 or $1,286.00 (approx), Buy it here.

The faceted surface of these lights are pretty eye catching. I’d say they look a tad more expensive than they are as well.
