Evil Robot Designs

I'm sure there are toy collectors out there who would be repulsed by the thought of "destroying" action figures this way, but I'll admit that I find the lamps and furniture made by Evil Robot Designs quite fun. See more at their site. LINK

Slinky Light Fixture

Though these used to be for sale, it doesn't seem as if this slinky lamp would be too difficult to make on your own. LINK

Here us a link to a different style with instructions. LINK

Nail Inlay Tables :: Sandback

Sandback is a family-owned business creating home furnishings here in the U.S., in New Hampshire to be exact. I'm particularly fond of the nail inlay tables, some of them using more than 5,000 nails to create pretty patterns in the table tops. See what they have to offer at their site. LINK

Marbelous :: Ontwerpduo

Nathan Wierink and Tineke Beunders, aka Onterpduo, design interior pieces from lighting to furniture to textiles. However, they are being featured here for the marbelous table, a wooden table with marble runs carved into its surface, legs and feet. See more photos and read about it at their site. LINK

Lego Buffet :: Minale-Maeda

This piece of lego furniture by the design studio Minale-Maeda is awesome! And it appears to be fully functional with doors and drawers that open. See all of the photos at their site. LINK
