Fresh from our Most Shocking McDonald's Locations and Must-See Apple Stores Of The World series, we're taking requests for Subways as we begin our Most Shocking Starbucks Locations. Know of a 'Bucks randomly tucked into a curious corner of the world? This is going to be a running series, so email us your suggestions!

So let's say that you're enjoying a lovely evening out for a stroll in Berlin, Germany and you're perhaps following a brick path in the street that marks the former location of the Berlin Wall. You're walking along, eyes down at the ground as you ponder the history around Potsdamer Platz especially, when you run right into the side of a Starbucks.

When Tables and Chairs Turn Erotic

Where: Potsdamer Strasse 98, Berlin, Germany, 10785
November 28, 2006 at 10:19 AM | by amandak | 0 Comments


The Dutch, as we know, are kind of progressive. That's why a Dutch company called Sexy Furniture cannot only make the owner a living, but also provide an exhibition for a Berlin art gallery.

In the Amadeus Art gallery in central Berlin, cabinet maker and artist Mario Philippona is exhibiting wooden sculpture and furniture pieces inspired by the female body, with names like "TittyFrutti" attached. Philippona says that his passion for wood (and, perhaps, women) inspired him to create other pieces including:

a wine-glass cupboard in the shape of a pair of large breasts, a table supported by legs moulded from a female model and a bedside drawer which opens by pressing a button in the piece's "vagina".
If this isn't art for the non-art-lovers, then we don't know what is. What a good service Philippona's doing by creating art for the masses.
