A few choice examples from Chris Stever and Jane de Rosa’s Zombie Gnomes collection. The pieces (with adorable names like ‘Legless Larry’ and ‘Gertrude Guts’) cost around €45 each and take 5/6 weeks to mail out due to demand, but check out the backstory:

Something bad has happened in the garden. The once happy garden gnomes have been infected by a strange virus which has turned them into flesh eating monsters. There are only a few survivors left who are desperately trying to stay alive.

Glasshouse‘ by Czech designer Kristýna Pojerová is a mini greenhouse that double functions as pendant lamp. on show at Prague Designblok 2011. The doughnut-shaped base allows one to reach inside to plant small herbs in a radial gutter running around the radius. ‘Glasshouse’ makes use of the otherwise useless heat waste of the bulb, which can be regulated with a dimmer.

It’s on sale here for the equivalent of $1700. Which is a bit steep, given that – if you’re any way handy – you could probably fabricate your own for a fraction of the cost.
