Cool products alert- Fascinating anatomy-inspired furniture and decor! (Part 3)

And finally, the third and last installment of fascinating anatomy-inspired furniture and decor. This time featuring Ukraine born, Netherlands based, talented artist Vladi Rapaport and his work, 'The Vanitas Collection' -a collection of products inspired by the Dutch "vanitas" still life paintings from the 16th and 17th century. "The characteristic type of symbolic still life painting is the one where the symbols of emptiness, time and death were placed on the canvas as a reminder of the vanity of one's earthly life". Now, let's take a look at 'The Vanitas Collection' below.

'Skull' Chair

The 'Skull' chairs were made using wood, polyester and glass-fiber.

'Brain' Footstool
