finn magee flat life art
posted by the scholar on October 12th, 2007filed under: art, home accessories, mixed media
look! up on the wall! it’s a poster! it’s a trompe l’oeil! it has a, plug? it’s a… lamp??
well, yes.
london-based irish artist finn magee has created this fantastic flat life series of common household items. here’s the amazing part: these items on posters are embedded with led lights and become illuminated when they are plugged into a socket!
what a wonderful surreal, original, innovative, imaginative thing to see hanging on your wall everyday. it doesn’t look like these are in production right now but hopefully they will be made available soon!
see more intriguing things on finn’s website.

[…] Flat Life is a project by Finn Magee that transforms everyday objects into flat objects. Until now he designed two products, and you can see them in the picture below.

I this that this idea can be great, especially if you can make your own products. From Finn Magee website it doesn’t look like these are in production right now but hopefully they will be made available soon! – Via – Roadsidescholar […]
