Libeskind for the masses?


Libeskind has designed a 5,500-square-foot prefab house, priced from $2.8 to $4.2 million, that can be shipped and assembled anywhere. The two-story villa "resembles a crystal with sharp angles and towering windows bursting from the ground," the Times writes. I wonder if it includes Libeskind's trademark water feature: roof leaks.

Furniture you can take with you...

I always like twisted dark humor, so I found this piece of furniture very witty without being too obvious -- afterall you don't want to be labelled a Goth.

Shelves for Life is an ingenious piece of furniture designed by William Warren, a self-proclaimed conceptual designer, lateral thinker, and joker. It's whimsical, functional, and a total conversation piece. And, it's a bookcase that turns into a coffin.
