Gorgeous Grain: Wooden Bathtubs Really Go with the Flow Combining German hand-crafting expertise and curved ship hull construction methods, this patterned wooden tub shoots both to satisfy the eye and to soothe any aching back. Alegna specializes in exotic woods like wenge and mahogany that show off grain patterns with stark contrasts or work for lightweight-requiring (e.g. nautical) applications. Some of their tubs form monolithic built-in masses while others are free-standing and come with stone-filled surrounds. All are made to be equipped with jacuzzi features on demand. Beyond baths, their custom bathroom fixtures and furnishings include sinks and cabinets featuring the same attention to wood grain patterns and craft details, inward-flowing blocks of attractive woods.

Have a Break ... In a Kit Kat Chair? Here's something we haven't seen before: adverts that transform into chairs, no tools required! Thrown up around a handful of Gen-Yer haunts in New Zealand recently, these flat-pack plywood posters, each a DIY project in waiting, are the latest gimmick experimental ad campaign from Kit Kat -- like a grown-up version of a cereal-box toy. Except more useful. They can be assembled in a few minutes by pulling off the poster's six wood pieces then slotting them together. Voila! A lawn chair. That's obviously the target, any way. So free furniture must be the new 30-second TV spot or something. But it's probably just as well. [Images courtesy of JWT New Zealand]
