finn magee flat life art

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!

farm 21 straw screen

i have a friend with a curvy kohler bathtub who cannot bring herself to put a shower curtain around it for fear of hiding its sculptural lines. this screen from the uk’s farm21 just might change her mind. it has three sections, and is made from laminated rye straw and acrylic.

sasha sykes, the company’s founder, had a desire to bring contemporary furnishings with a rural flavor to fill an underserved niche in the market. most of the organic materials found in the collection come from her family’s farm in county carlow, ireland.

simply gorgeous.

find it and many other lovely pieces at their website.
