Pauly Shore would be proud

Like most people who went to crafty college, I’ve had some pretty scarring experiences with furniture made from PVC pipe.  There usually seems to be a time around when someone gets their first apartment that they discover Home Depot, and realize that serviceable furniture can be made using off-the-rack PVC parts and their Tinker-Toy modularity.  So they go ahead and build a few things – a coat rack here, a bookshelf there.  It escalates.  Finally, the thing they make collapses and breaks my TV.  Then their utility checks are late.

Point is, there are always exceptions to rules.  And, I gotta say, I’m kind of buying what this bench is selling.  It is called the Rainpipe Bench and is from Lithuanian designer Vytautas Gecas.  I don’t know anything else about it but I’m thinking about DIYing one for my yard.

Bonus:  He also made this:
