Oh, boo and hoo. Since the network decided to cancel our show, it’s been pretty lugubrious around Edificial HQ: tears and lamentations, long faces and short tempers. The divers stages have been gone through, and in the customary sequence—shock, denial, vodka, anger, gin, bargaining, vodka. But the time has come, the walrus said, to speak of other things, and so we present you with the last Thursday FotoShoppe (at least barring a possible revival on this or another station).

Today’s cutey-pie design is a contemporary classic, a standby of 21st century consumer cuteness: the famous “Banquete chair with Pandas” by Brazilian artists Fernando and Humberto Campana, designed for Moss in 2006. The bloody thing costs somewhere in the neighborhood of $75,000, though whether they intend to come off that price given the ailing stuffed panda market is uncertain at present writing. Click through to see more of the Campanas’ dear, dear chairs, as well as pictures of our cat. Her name is Lulu.

Whereas: Thursday is Cute Day; pursuant to which custom, FotoShoppe is to feature images of cute design; and being as Sarino Fiero, a design student at Syracuse University, has designed this, the above-pictured “Creativi*tea” teapot, recently featured on Yanko; and in deference to the aforesaid teapot, which besides being made of a temperature sensitive material that glows a brighter shade of red as the water comes to a boil, is also mega-cute, super-cute, darling and otherwise very appealing; we, the undersigned, hereby declare it to be fit for clicking though to see more, with all the rights, privileges, and honors pertaining thereto.

Aw, isn’t that cute? That is so precious. It’s positively delicious. No, It’s scrumptious! But really, it’s actually a delight. Or is it absolutely marvelous? Obviously it’s marvelous, and it may be so absolutely, but in either case it is almost certainly delicious. And precious. Designer Yw Li (Chinese and really, really bizarre) created this MP3-playing pillow (seen above, under head of giant baby) to keep the mewling, puking infant quiet while mother huffs down three or four Winston Lights in the adjoining room. The soothing sounds of mother’s recorded voice, emanating from the pillow’s twin speakers, lulls the child into a false complacency, affording an opportunity for the monsters hiding in the closet to launch a brutal coordinated attack.

You know what’s cuter than cute? That’s right: Cute Day. And the only thing cuter than Thursday Fotoshoppe is the waterproof K-95 USB Flash Drive from Manworks Design (above). (Oh, you remember Manworks. They invented the crucifix iPod.) This little honeydoodle can pull 1GB or 2GB of info at 8 MB/sec of sheer digital cuteness—but it’s got some pretty tough competition, viz. after the jump.

Oh, now that is cute. That is awfully goddamned cute. It’s cuter than a bag of kittens. It’s cuter than a duck’s butt. It’s Ibsen Caldas’ Gota dishwasher, and but for what we assume to be its outrageous price it’s the perfect domestic solution: an energy efficient portable dishwasher. Explains Yanko the All-Knowing: “In its pre-wash cycle the dishwasher steams up the dishes and recycles the cooled down residual H2O for the later-on cycles… The body of the Gota is crafted from ABS polycarbonate and the internal tank stores sufficient enough water for a round of cleaning.” Yes! It’s also sleek and nifty and cuter than a fat country baby eatin’ peaches off a hardwood floor.

“What did you say, Amanda? FotoShoppe? Thursday? Why, that’s Cute Day, darling. You should know that.” And so George continued eating his farina, totally unaware of the horrible fate that awaited him—a cuteness so potent, so irresistible, so acute, that it would shake the very foundations of his quiet suburban existence.

As promised, we present the return of The Brick Testament, the Holy Bible brought to life in Legos. The highlight of the site is definitely the biblical Lego architecture, which goes (excuse the pun) by the book, chapter and verse, down to the minutest detail; above, the walls of Jericho, mid-fall.

We should add that this Lego Liturgy may not be intended as cute, nor even of interest to designers. It’s actually kind of hard to tell exactly what kind of audience it’s intended for. For an individual so incredibly dedicated to such a difficult task, the site’s creator, the Reverend Brendan Powell Smith, is a very, um, irreverent man. We’ll just say this: whatever his intention in creating The Brick Testament, we happen to think that his work is of architectural and anthropological interest, a sentiment we intend both as a credit to him and as a notice to you architects that there’s something to be said for a devotion to craft balanced with a strong sense of humor. See for yourselves within.
