Wonderniture

One day I will have a home, with space!
Space to put LOTS of weird shit in it.
Until then... I'll just keep furnishing this blog ;)

Here's a new batch of home-improvement inspiration!!

 

Handmade taxidermy monsters

The bottom one has a name: Der Wolpertinger. Apparently it is a make-believe creature of German folklore, supposedly living in the alpine forests of Bavaria. It possesses the body parts of several common game animals; portrayed with wings, antlers, and fangs, all attached to the body of a small mammal. Stuffed Wolpertingers are common Bavarian Inn mascots, often displayed alongside real Black Forest taxidermy hunting trophies.

Inspiring: Mikhail Gubin and his collage sculptures

There is something particularly magnetic and consuming in these bundles of almost-random shapes, shades, lines, planes and textures. I am not sure what it is, but I find them all instantly appealing. Soothing to look at. Beautiful. Not unlike a chaldron from Jonathan Lethem's great novel Chronic City.
If I had a sculpture like that at home I would no doubt just stare at it in a relaxed yet curious fashion for hours at a time... Watch as it changes over the course of the day with the play of light and shadows.

Also, it looks like they are made of trash.
Go trash!!!

A month's work as a junior doctor in surgery has placed me... somewhat away from the cutting edge of medicine. To say the least. But there is always the consolation prize: the pay check. That is if they manage to actually send me one successfully at some point. Aaaaany day now would be nice.
Maybe I will use it to purchase this set of blades to stimulate my slicing instincts...?

yum yum yum...

Cool prints!

Aren't they lovely? I will endeavour to find their rightfull source links, but to be honest I have let myself down with tracking most of the wonderfull images I come across... Aaaanyhow, Happy New Year!

Latest pick of the imaginative and playful interior design pieces! This post actually reflects my domestic priorities: sit, read, read, read, bubble bath (reading), bed, read, read, read, sleep. The spiral bookcase is probably my favourite... because I'm nerdy and consider Fibonacci numbers to be an awesome thing to behold and ponder about ;P
