Amazing Ladder Bookcase

Here’s a great design idea that I haven’t seen being applied in any library. Book shelves that are also stairs. An easy way of getting the book you want. It’s just one of those designs that makes you wonder “why didn’t I think of that?”

If take a minute to ponder about it, it is not all that hard to build. You could even try to do it yourself, using some wood and some nails. Also works for categorizing CD’s. Nice!

This is one for the do-it-your-self section. What you see in the picture below is a bunch of inflated latex gloves with several light-bulbs inside.

Made by Katarina Britse at Beckman’s College of Design, this chandelier is something relatively easy to do in the comfort of your own house, considering you have a thing for surgical gloves and a system to keep them inflated all the time.

A Merry Berry Christmas from Fruit Like Flowers

Christmas, a time of joy and especially… eating. Fruit Like Flowers thought about everything. They have created some mouthwatering, delightful hand made arrangements with an unique design.

Christmas Tree

Filled with fresh strawberries, pineapples, grapes, oranges, apples, cantaloupe, honeydew and water melon pieces, these arrangements are an innovative way to say: “Merry Christmas”.

The only problem is that you can only order if you live within the South East of the UK. You can order directly from their website for a prices that varies between 20 and 70 pounds. But, there is also an alternative: try to make it yourself. It may not look as good as the original ones, but if made with love, they could be even tastier.
