Hot or Not? Coffin Shelves

6-2-2009coffinshelvesforlife.jpgWe love furniture that serves more than one purpose. But bookshelves that transform into a coffin? Well, we're amused. What about you?

We are not amused. If you have to explain it, then it doesn't work.

We quite like it. We are amused and pleased.
1. Simple, clean design
2.Multi-use
3. Practical
4. Not quite so "obvious" as a bed that transforms into a coffin. But if it were a cradle that spent time as a bookshelf and then did it's final duty as a coffin....then it would be symbolic as well. Or a furniture design pun. And we are almost always amused by a pun.

A few years back, ReadyMade had a plan for making a coffin out of Ikea bookshelves. We actually like these shelves better.

Although we are a writer (ROFL... we can't do this!) and it would be funny and fitting to be buried in a bookshelf, I intend to be an organ donor. Ultimate recycling, y'know.

I can't believe more people don't like these! They're awesome! I am highly amused.
