Dog Shaped Desk by Philippe Starck

dog shaped desk Dog Shaped Desk by Philippe Starck
When I was a kid my desk was a plank of wood on top of two milk crates. And the crates weren’t even the same size, I had to do all my work at a funky angle. Those were days. Kids today have it so much better with these sweet modern desk design by Philippe Starck. This kid’s desk called Le Chien Savant (which means the performing dog, or something like that) and it looks like a sweet pooch. Action shots:

Kids can sit right on the dog’s back and work on his head- something that we can’t recommend you do with a real dog. The desk is made of rotational-molded polyethylene and is suitable for both indoor and outdoor use. Be forewarned kids who are not reading this blog, I’m not sure if you can use the “dog ate my homework” excuse with this desk. (via iihih)

Incredible Manhattan Staircase and Loft Covered in 20,000 Lego Bricks

One lucky New York City kid has the coolest staircase and loft ever. Our favorite professional Lego builder, Sean Kenney (yes that’s his real job!!!) has done it again with his Lego Staircase and Loft commissioned by a Manhattan family. It took two weeks to put together the 20,000 Lego pieces needed to make the 10 feet long, 9.5 feet tall, and 6 feet wide stairs.

As you can see, there are actually steel and wooden support beams in the middle of the railing for safety. Sean does use glue as well to keep them from being destroyed by an errant drop kick. Of course using glue as they go along leaves no room for error.

The loft is ten feet up in the air, adding to the difficulty of constructing this. The homeowners even gave some input on the project’s design as he went along.

Awesome work. What kid wouldn’t want their room covered in Legos? (via curbed)
