Turning Food Into Something Unexpected with @seriousdesign

To see more of Matija’s unusual mashups, follow @seriousdesign on Instagram.

It was the steak flip-flops that gave Matija Erceg (@seriousdesign) the idea. He was a little bored with his day-to-day job as a web developer, and when he saw a picture of a pair of flip-flops with soles made out of steak, inspiration struck him.

“I imagined what it would be like to wear them,” says Matija, who is based in Vancouver, Canada. “I wanted to evoke the same reaction of delightful disgust in other people, so I set off on a mission to pair food and everyday objects into ‘serious designs.’”

Matija started with some shrimp headphones. “Imagine the feeling of putting them into your ears, as you would earbuds,” he says. “I think that seeing them on the ends of the wires helps imagine the sensation.”

Community Outfits - January

I’m picking up the community outfits again, finally! I’ll be sharing most of the outfits from the C2C Polyvore Group once or twice a month on Console to Closet. If you want to see your outfit featured, join the polyvore group and submit your gaming inspired creations there! I’m also looking for a moderator of the group, so if you’re interested in that, please drop me an email at info(at)consoletocloset.com. 

Dangerous Popsicles by Wei Li

Wei Li on the project:

Have you ever licked a cactus? Probably not. But it might be interesting to try it out, in another form.

Dangerous Popsicles are a collection of weird shaped popsicles inspired by cacti and life-threatening bacteria/viruses. What will happen when we put these dangerous things on one of our most sensitive organs, our tongues? Does pain really bring pleasure? Is there beauty in user-unfriendly things?
