A couch made from coins – how unique

elutzik — Sun, 21 Nov 2010 21:28:15 +0000

Money does not bring happiness, but it can make life more beautiful in different ways, and happiness depends, sometimes on their number. Artist Johnny Swing recently gave a new meaning to the idea of having money. He started using coins of different sizes and values to create a collection of items, all made of coins.

The Nickel Couch will give the interior that is located a luxurious and glamorous look. It is made from approximately 7000 nickels, 35,000 welds and a substructure of stainless truss work utilizing 350 feet of stiffening rods. The Couch sits alone as sculpture or as an interactive work, inviting the viewer to sit or lounge while being surrounded by money.

Pillow Remote Control – the “softest” and handier remote control

elutzik — Tue, 16 Nov 2010 06:00:00 +0000

You can use as a remote control (a big one, so you won’t lose it again) or simply as a pillow, to rest your head on. The idea is that you will no longer have to look for your remote control, or ask someone to give it to you if you’re on the couch and the remote control is on the table, because the pillows say on the couch, right? However, it turns back into a normal pillow if you don’t use it for 60 seconds so that it would save energy and so that you won’t change the channels with your head. This great piece is only $30 from Brookstone.
