Howdy kids, hope you all had a swell weekend! We spent the days doing yardwork and the nights eating and drinking yummy stuff, so it was mostly lovely and relaxing… and I am totally unprepared for the cold hard wall in my face that is Monday. Thank jeebus for Wallpaper Magazine, because they always have the most interesting spreads (when they aren’t showcasing 20 pages in a row of disgusting albeit beautifully photographed raw steaks… although maybe that also qualifies as interesting?). Anyway, look at this:

How about that Ligne Roset bed? Amazing! What’s that you say — something is obscuring your view of it? Oh yes. Giant taxidermied animals were obviously necessary to illustrate the hipster appeal of these fine furnishings.

That Jaime Hayon chair is certainly foxy, though.

If I only had 5 seconds to grab something out of this room, I’m not sure if I would yank the lamb away from gaping lupine jaws, or put that Herve Van Der Straeten console table under my coat and run for my ever loving life.

What do you think? Is Wallpaper too clever for its own good?

Or maybe just crazy like a fox?

    it got my attention
    but I am creeped out
    I want that bed
    but without the lion hair that might be there now

    If I only had 5 seconds, that lamb would be toast and the console would be in my car and gone.

    I second Bri.

  5. Ah Wallpaper, they are clever indeed, though I’m still bitter about an almost chance I had to write for them about 10 years ago now — the fact that it fell through still occasionally makes me want to weep.
    They are clever, just clearly not clever enough ;)
    Oh and btw, I’d make like a bandit and snag that golden console.

  6. The stalking dead don’t do it for me, so everything here suffers by association.

    Freaky.

    Yes, the lamb is a goner. Grab that console!

    also, i thought taxidermy was over? How does wallpaper manage to make it still look pretty cool? I think it’s the lion.

  9. Is there furniture here? Im too creeped out by the stuffed furies to see past them.
    Remember when you could see a room with a stuffed animal or mounted antler and just know you were in the company of creeps? Hipsters just confuse everything. Enough already.

  10. Oooh, console. Yes. I’ve never seen anything like it. Kinda mesmerizing. I was so distracted by it I didn’t even see the poor lamb. He doesn’t stand a chance.

  11. Console. I’d totally take the console.

    i’d grab the lamb and the console!

    Console….

    And, I wanna tiny light-up door ! Does it make you Malkovich though ?

  14. nkp says:

    The console table. Grab the console table and run. On second thought, grab the wolf while your at it and use it to fend off the authorities who will surely be in hot pursuit.

    Hi there, gojoy, and welcome! Malkovich, ha!
