Have yo ever considered having a really wacky carpet in your home? Desigend by Jason Amendolara,these sewer mats- that’s right, this is what they’re called- are certain to spice up a dull entrance. They can be used as welcoming carpets, but no one says they can not be integrated in a room’s interior design. In fact, having more of them on the same floor could create a fun street theme. The indoor/outdoor mats measure 24 in diameter, are made from recycled truck tires and are being sold online for the sum of $25. We found a purchasing place here. The graphics include reproductions of some of the world’s famous city sewers (funny, huh?) like Paris, London, Chicago and so on. What do you think- really cool, really crazy or both?

Chandeliers are usually made of crystal and diamonds. This one’s made of tampons. At first glance, this dramatic chandelier created by Joana Vasconcelos looks ordinarily beautiful, but look closer, and you'll be bloody surprised! The monster-sized chandelier is actually composed of hundreds of white O.B. tampons. Called “The Bride” this chandelier is right now in a gallery in Lisbon. It’s a 5-meter tall chandelier made from wire, cotton thread, and over 14,000 tampons. Right now, the tampon chandelier is only soaking up the gazes of art lovers, and will continue to do so until the Belem Cultural Center exhibition ends, on May 18, 2010.
