Front Design is a Stockholm based studio run by gorgeous women who make gorgeous things. The radio, cd player and mp3 player above are just a few samples of their work-- all of which challenges conventional notions of both product and process. They also have a line of home decor products that are made in collaboration with animals. Wallpaper chewed by rats, a lamp molded from a rabbit hole and coat hooks textured by snakes are just a few examples.

Cobbled together from 15 different Icelandic sheepskins, it's meant to resemble the classic butcher's diagram poster that labels...
Liberty Tiles
Trend USA's new collection called Liberty, designed by the skilled Italian mosaic artist Giulio Candussio, is a modern update to the ancient artform perfected by Greek and Roman artists thousands of years ago. The way the hand-cut glass tiles catch light is simply exquisite. (See another image after the jump.) With a material make-up of at least 25% recycled content, your empty beer bottles...
Crucifix MP3 player
Perhaps taking a cue from the iBelieve (a lanyard that made the original iPod shuffles look like crosses), Chinese electronics wholesaler Chinavision recently came out with a crucifix-shaped MP3 player for devout music listeners. It's a rather unique way of marketing technology and we can't help but wonder what the J Man would think of such a device. The player offers 1GB of internal...
