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)

This is actually a pretty incredible idea- frame your growing plants on the wall. The Picture Frame Planter, designed by Chiaki Murata has a small planter on the bottom section of this frame to plant seeds and grow plants. The plants sprout into the frame as if they are a living work of art. You can hang these on a wall or place it on a desk. Comes in two sizes ~12″ square and ~15″ square. The photo shows it with grass, but flowers would probably look great too.
