Probably the coolest fridge in the world

Image
This has to be the coolest fridge ever made (no pun intended!), Introducing the new Marshall Fridge .  It’s made by the famous Amp makers featuring all the classic parts, the traditional Marshall emblem, and control knobs that go all the way up to 11! The best ideas are so simple yet so clever.  If you’re interested it has 4.4 cubic ft of space, clearly for all your Buds. So long as you can keep other beers in it, we’re happy. Makes your Smeg fridge look SOOOO last year dude…

The beautiful art of Mike Stilkey

Image
It's not often that we come across something that really wows us at Liv Design. The work of LA based artist Mike Stilkey however, really caught our eye. His work is really unique, we especially like the fun fantasy characters and animals painted onto sculptured towers of books. Mike uses a mix of paint, pencil, ink and lacquer painted onto books, vintage papers and record sleeves.

The Blitz Table Lamp

Image
Liv Design's current fave find – the Blitz table lamp from StockpileDesigns The lamp is made from a recovered WWII MK23 Practice Bomb casing. The cast iron bases are burnished and sealed to protect against rust and feature a cloth-wrapped cord with a vintage style plug. According to the website "The MK23 Practice Bomb was used by the Navy during WWII for dive-bombing trials. The central shaft was fitted with a flare, so the pilots could judge their accuracy from the air. Dive-bombing was a dangerous attack, involving bombers flying nearly straight down towards their targets" .
