Gunther Skull by Josh Rubin

gunther skull

This little (1.75" tall) skull was designed in the 18th century by Franz Ignatz Gunther for a chapel in Munich. The original moulds are still intact, and German manufacturer Porzellan Manufaktur is making them once again. Moss is selling a limited number for $355-- the perfect bauble for a rich rocker friend.

Frankie Table Lamp

Using luxe materials like those in his recent and fun Cowboy Junkie saddle stool, the 11-pound light features interchangeable, colored LED or halogen bulbs. Because these options are different wattage power, customers can control the degree of fierceness they'd like for their...
