Photos on eye spy are for your gazing pleasure. I've tried to attribute each + every one, but for a slim minority the source, designer, or manufacturer has gone missing. If you recognize one of these, let me know its background and I'll be sure to track proper credits + links.

Ummm, hello… Blob?

Office? Kitchen? Bathroom? Bedroom? RV? Yes. Meet the Blob. Born of necessity, this ovum is the creation of Dutch architects dmvA. Because this clever orb is art it skirts the restrictive building codes and licenses that prevented the architects from building an addition onto an existing residence. Would you like your own Blob?

 Children of the Corn? I love the nod-to-sci-fi photos in the cornfield. 

 

 

 

It’s sort of like a glossier shinier Airstream: TOP, cooking; CENTER, bathing; BOTTOM, sleeping

 

 

Don’t say you weren’t warned! Half a year ago, the women of Design-Crisis foretold the coming of the blobs

 

 

 

 

 

This ain’t nothing new. In the deep South, we’ve been parking our own blobs right alongside the house. ;-)

"Here in the South..." HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA........

Shit, I can't even hide my trash disposal unit, i.e. the can, in my bushes...my neighborhood association would have a fit over this. But sure, I'd love me a little egg-shaped blob! ;0)

I would die to have one of these for my very own. Bright and
airy, but womb-like.

Girl, you know I love me a good blob! And I'd love to park it in my backyard so my neighbors could marvel at its awesomeness.

I can't decide whether I have to have one...or if it'd send me into a claustrophobic panic. Maybe if I kept the hatch cracked.

Love the post! Re-visit the Yurt phenomenon sometime. I loved seeing all those cool "forts".
