Play-and-Stay Blog

So far in Tenuous LEGOLAND® based blog of the week we have seen records broken, innovative uses of the Mindstorms® system, and some seriously wacky LEGO gizmos. What we have yet to see however, is some LEGO based interior design. Always keen to break new LEGO ground, I’ve compiled a few of my favourite LEGO themed pieces of furniture for you.

1) The LEGO radiator.

Winter is well and truly upon as and I’m sure many of you, like me, are loathe to turn on your heating due to the inevitable squillion pound bill. Perhaps this (unlicensed) LEGO radiator made by a company called Scirocco would make heating your home fun rather than horrifically expensive. In truth it probably won’t, but look how cool it is!

2) The LEGO lamp.

Ahhh lamps, I do love a good lamp. Turning on the “big light” always seems just a bit too much doesn’t it? Or is that just me? Maybe it’s because I don’t have a dimmer switch in my flat. Nothing says “I’ve made it” like a dimmer switch…or a clapper. I have neither, I’m pretty much going home to the third world! I digress, this (unlicensed) LEGO lamp is made by a company called 25togo and the pegs snap off so you can hide stuff inside! I think I’d buy lots and lots of them and make a giant LEGO castle that glows and turns off when I clap AND has a dimmer switch!

3) Luna Blocks.

Building furniture does not conjure happy memories for many people, except the obvious exceptions of tablemakers and those woodsmith people, what are they called….carpenters, that’s it. Whenever I’ve made furniture it’s always ended in terrible splintery disaster but that might all be about to change. LunaBlocks could allow even the cack-handed likes of me to knock up some useable furniture. The massive perspex faux LEGO bricks come in all the classic sizes, twoers, fourers and flatties. Allowing you to build coffee tables, shelves, TV stands and all manner of other stuff.

4) The LEGO sofa.

The single greatest sofa ever perhaps? This AWESOME (note the use of caps and bold, I’m that impressed) LEGO sofa looks like and works like the real thing. You can actually disassemble the sofa and re-arrange it to your own liking. Imagine the sofa fort you could build out of this thing! No more dragging duvets and cushions around to make your impenetrable monster-proof fortress of solitude, now all you need is one amazing sofa which apparently costs only around £275. It’s only available in America though, so good luck having it shipped over here.

How many of those things do you want? I think if you had all of them, you could dress as a minifig and live the LEGO dream. I think I just figured out my future…
