Oh! Purdy! (vase)



Pretty vases! A little Dali-esque, if memory serves? From Little Wonder in Philadelphia, but distributed by a German company. So I don't know where they'll end up being sold. Nice, though. Thought some of you might like them.





And while I'm trawling the interweb, look at this! Holy crap! It's a sofa that turns into a set of bunk beds! Wow. I bet it's not very comfortable as a sofa, though.

I like the look of those vases but I really want that couch, that just looks so interesting!

I'm a little sceptical, I must admit. Having recently been through buying one, I started off looking for a sofa-bed for my flat but I couldn't find one I thought was comfortable enough for everyday use as a sofa. I ended up measuring the cushions on a standard sofa and finding one I could rearrange the cushions on to make an adequate bed. I'm told it's very comfortable to sleep on, but it certainly wasn't designed for the purpose.

But it does look cool, doesn't it?

The world honestly needs more transforming furniture.

It looks like something they use for commercials that advertise minivans with fold-up seats. The people who own the newly designed van have furniture that folds all up so that their house looks tidy.

Creations of Beelzebub. If they're remotely comfortable as a sofa, they're impossible to sleep on; if they're acceptable as a bed, they're appalling as a sofa. Usually, they're useless as both.

It would take more than folding furniture to make my house look tidy.

That monstrosity is neither comfortable as a sofa nor as a bed. No. *shudder* It is not. Only cruel people would put either guests or children in that thing.

But I like the vases... a bit O'Keeffesh, but lovely.

That reminds me, I've gotta look for a sofabed this weekend...Muah ha ha.

Yes, same here. They need to come out with furniture that is self-dusting just like a stove is "self-cleaning".

Those vases look like something Sigourney Weaver brought home from space.

Yes, or raptor eggs from "Jurassic Park".

I think the eggs from JP were borrowed from Sigourney.
