Based in South Africa, Tattoo Furniture might not be the most accessible shop for Americans, but they've got a good idea going. Each piece is a one-of-a-kind handmade item, embellished with "tattoos" that are laser cut into the furniture. You can design your own piece through their website: select the finish, color, upholstery, and tattoo from a short list of options, then place your order.
The styles combine modern shapes with opulent fabrics and embellishments for a "Victorian-Mod" aesthetic. Furniture is made from wood and coated with a high-gloss or Imbuia Wood finish. Since pieces are custom-made, prices and shipping information are not listed online. For more information, visit their website here.

I was lucky to spend a couple of months in Cape Town recently and was stunned to see how great the design is there. Really innovative and fresh -- lots of repurposed materials used in incredibly creative ways.
