Porky Hefer merges imagination and reality with his line of Animal Chairs, and specifically his 2018 Endangered collection. While the South African creative has been making public sculptures and taking part in product / furniture design for over a decade, he did this series of his already notable Animal Chairs as part of a benefit for the Leonardo DiCaprio Foundation (LDF), which supports efforts to protect vulnerable wildlife from extinction.
The Endangered Exhibition includes an orangutan, a polar bear, a sloth, a blue whale, and a great white shark, all fabricated from eco-friendly and recycled materials, and handmade by artisans in Cape Town. Techniques used to bring the animal chairs to life include crochet, felting, stitching, embroidery, and cuddling.
Anatomical Gummi Bears
This anatomical view of what lies beyond the high fructose corn syrup and Yellow Dye No. 5 of their epidermises paints Gummi Bears in a new light. Gives them some identity. Some humanity. Makes me feel kind of bad for...

3D Animal Car Window Decals
Honk - no, hoink - if you like pigs busting out the back of car windows! Not all the 3D Animal Car Window Decals in the Andre Valois Shop are as realistic as the cheeky porker you see above, but I've pulled a shortlist...

Demon Hooves Heel Less Boots
I guess I can kind of see now why some people are turned on by goats. Oonacat's Demon Hooves, a pair of spiked, knee-high boots with cloven foot pads in place of typical toes and heels are pretty sick. I mean in the good...
Taxidermy Animal Drones
When I first read about, but hadn't yet seen, Copter Company's taxidermy animal drones I though they just sounded kinda goofy. Then I got a look at the Orvillecopter here. A spread-eagle taxidermied quad-cat-ter flying...

The Animal Chair collection constitutes a diverse range of species, from mammals to reptiles, and even insects. Each creation retains the animal's natural vitality whilst being totally biologically accurate in their appearance...
Animal Hoodies
Ladies, if Griz Coats are too big, too masculine, or too covering of the neck down for you (read: for me), how about one of these minxy little animal hoodies? Most of them even extend along the shoulders into a cozy pair...
Life-Size Blue Whale Kite
I see your flying squirrel, Flying Dutchman, and flying f@*k, and raise you a flying blue whale! No, make that a life-size flying blue whale. Wind master Peter Lynn's superbly massive kite measures in at over 60 feet...

Dude's Top 10 Picks for Animal Reincarnation
Dying kind of sucks, but sooner or later, we all go through it. And rather than dwell on where we are or aren't going when the reaper (or Looper) calls our name, we at Dude prefer to think about what we're coming back...
Your Inner Wolf Chair
Everyone has a wolf within. Even if it's a low-rung Beta that consists predominantly of envying the musculature of Alcide Herveaux and Tyler Lockwood, or succumbing to guilty pleasures, such as MTV's Teen Wolf, and Amazon's...

Wild Footwear: 10 Fun & Funky Animal Shoes
Actually, what I should say about this wild footwear is that the roundup contains 9 fun and funky animal shoes, and one pair of spooky and possibly sadistic animal boots. Scroll on down to number 10 to see what I mean...
