Elephant chair

Maximoriera, creators of the memorable Octopus Chair, have a new offering: an elephant chair. Pretty regal.

I write books. My latest is a YA science fiction novel called Homeland (it's the sequel to Little Brother). More books: Rapture of the Nerds (a novel, with Charlie Stross); With a Little Help (short stories); and The Great Big Beautiful Tomorrow (novella and nonfic). I speak all over the place and I tweet and tumble, too.

I love the idea of functional sculpture. It makes justifying the space for a large piece much easier.

You’d have to be a big ass to sit in that chair.

Why do African Elephants have big ears?

Because Noddy won’t pay the ransom.
