Oversized Knitted Furniture – Chunky Comfy

by Jay Garrett on October 1, 2009

Phat_Knits_Dutch_designer_Bauke_Knottnerus3Phat Knits is the creation of Dutch designer  Bauke Knottnerus who must be a sight to see with a pair of needles.

Phat Knits is a series of fantastical over-sized furniture pieces, despite the fact that the designer claims that he doesn’t really see himself as a furniture designer.

“I’m more like a material designer,” he explains. “These things I make could end up as furniture or as textiles, it’s more like creating media that can be used to construct a coat or a carpet or a curtain.”

I just want to leap into the middle of all this knitted, woven and knotted display and build a nest amongst the crazy seating, rugs, and other soft looking multifunctional interior objects.

Great Sleeping Bear – Being Eaten By A Bear Has Never Been So Nice

by Jay Garrett on March 1, 2009

sleeping-bearI was sent this link by a buddy of mine (thanks for the nightmares Steve!) and after being puzzled I now want one of these soooooo very much!

I can just imagine sliding out of my tent at Glastonbury or Download and freaking a load of drunk/stoned/tripping fellow campers out :)

Say WTF to The Great Sleeping Bear sleeping bag.

This ursine flavoured sleeping bag has been designed by Eiko Ishizawa.

According to the designer, this oddly cool design is meant to play on several basic human emotions including the fear of getting eaten by a bear, being a bear as well as wearing a bear skin.

Hmmm……………..not entirely sure that I’ve had any of those emotions – still, time yet I guess.

Apparently this thing should be available by Springtime – so pretty much anytime soon! :)

Love it – I wonder what tog ratings Brown Bears have………..?
