More great stuff from Qubus Design. I’ve mentioned them a few times, but I just love everything that Qubus Design create. It’s the way they blend a traditional object with a modern quirky aesthetic that blows me away.

Take Ornament & Crime by Maxim Velčovský. It’s a kind of traditional bust ornament, decorated with an onion pattern favored by the middle class dinner set, but it sneaks in a kind of social-political agenda by featuring Lenin and the firs Czechoslovakian “working class” president Klement Gotwald. Items are taken out of their normal context and given new life. To be completely honest, the political statement isn’t apparently clear to me, I just think it looks cool, and thats all I care about. Shallow, I know, but if something is cool, everything else is secondary.
