ball and chain

What do you know, marriage isn’t so bad! Apparently now you get a nice shag carpet / fuzzy covered ball instead of the normal 1 ton! That’s what I like to hear. This and several other items also included in this post are sculptures put together and constructed by designer Karin Nilsson who goes under the “Crafts” banner at HDK design school in Göteborg, Sweden. Love the deconstructions!

These objects were certainly constructed to destroy or make fun of social amalgamations created to keep businessmen in business and consumers shopping. The ball and chain in pink is of course my favorite, but the carved “diamonds” and the soft version of Marcel Duchamp’s “Fountian” are not to be missed!
