There is something mesmerizing about staring at an open flame isn't there? That was the inspiration behind these super cool little "hearths" from designer David Weeks for Kikkerland. Weeks was inspired to create "hearths" for the urban dweller. Inspired by the concept that "an open flame inspires personal reflection, but modern urban life offers little time for meditative moments and limited access to a fireplace." So, Weeks created his "Ulterior Votives" collection, which uses a standard tealight. There is a mini Chimnea, campfire, and oil drum, all made in slip-cast porcelain. They're only $20, and will be available starting next week at mxyplzyk.com, as well as design stores throughout the country. The best part is that they made these hillariously cool videos of each one. Love the deer with lazers and the funny knitted toys!Friday, May 11, 2007
David Weeks Ulterior Votives for Kikkerland
Like a moth to a flame, burned by the fire... my love is blind, can't you see my desire? that's the way love goes...- Janet Jackson

SO COOL - love the sense of humor in the movies!
Fabulous! I had seen these around, but am grateful for the tip that they will be available soon. Thanks!
Btw, your link is wrong, it's:
https://www.mxyplyzyk.com
thanks for catching that carrie-
the link should be fixed now
I will show the videos to my friend that tried very hard to find it for my birthday this week end. It will be a consolation prize for her hard work. The store in Montreal that carries the line will only get them in June. The chimney and the campfire are so cute.
