Instead of buying a decorative statue, how about a functional piece of furniture that is also a piece of art?
The principle designers of Spain's ABR, Ramón Úbeda and Otto Canalda, show their artistic sense of humor with this eye-popping Cul is Cool Stool. The unique stool features a reproduction of one of the most famous rear ends of all time, the bum of Michelangelo's David.
Unlike the original stone masterpiece, this fresh fanny is made from a high quality expanded polypropylene that is surprisingly light.
The red version is a special edition made for Rojo, that was showcased at the recent International Contemporary Furniture Fair ICFF, New York.
