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.

Mattress Wallet – Where Could be Safer to Stash Your Cash?

by Jay Garrett on September 14, 2009

Keep-Money-MattressBanks are not exactly the safest place for your cash at the moment.

Some folk have taken back the old saving method of stashing their cash under the mattress.

Great!

Until there’s a fire, you lock yourself out of the house or your pet Chinchilla gets hungry.

Nah – what you need is a mattress that you can carry around with you……….

The mattress wallet “provides investors with a secure and comfortable place to put their money”.

It’s the same size as a regular wallet and even comes with “the ubiquitous warning tag that should not be removed under penalty of law.”

Is it just me or does it look quite comfy as well?

Yours for $21.85 from The Mattress Wallet
