Oh, the Farmer and the Cowman Should Be Friends.

Yep, that's the title of this unbelievable bookshelf/installation by UK designer Ron Arad. I wonder if the specific titles coorespond to their state in any way, or if they're just there to look sharp. Which, oh my, they do.

Is your state occupied or empty? Mine is seemingly book-free, but no doubt houses some complex cleat system for hanging this beauty. Or, perhaps, not.

Sled Coffee Table and Snow Track Rug.

A coffee table that interacts with its rug. Absolutely precious.

The beautiful hardwood toboggan sits atop a fluffy white floor rug complete with runner tracks. It's pretty pricey, but perhaps a thrift store find, some white carpet, and some 2x4s pressing down glue on the carpet will make a nice DIY option.

The Lego Countertop.

Curbly has seen plenty of Lego art over the years, perhaps some lego furniture, but fundamental built-in domestic structures? It's a first in my estimation...
