apartment therapy changing the world, one room at a time

Well, at least you can't accuse them of looking at you as you cross the room...

I bought the Rhino for my dad. I thought he'd find it funny. now it hangs in the home office. ^_^

I think these could look pretty cool if they were painted. Don't like them so much plain though.

I like them, but I'd probably put them away for a few years until the ubiquity of trophy heads ends.

I'd be surprised if there wasn't somewhere online to find patterns for free. Of course, I thought the same thing about the Grass Armchair and never found that.

trophy head meme is totally played out. doesn't matter if they're cardboard or crocheted or gilded or lucite. played. out.

it's played out for those of us who read a design blog everyday. But when most people see it, it's novel and interesting. Don't forget you're extremely jaded because you're on the very top of trends.

I had no idea this trend existed until I found this blog back in the spring. I still have never seen it anyone's house I know. And I like these.

i looked at these recently. I really wanted to get y dad the moose one for his barn/workshop. He collects different moose stuff, and short of getting a real vintage moose head, i think this would be fantastic.

For the size the price is high though, for cardboard... If it was out of wood, it would be a different story.

Also have looked for patterns and haven't found them. really wish i could and i would make it myself out of bigger sheets of cardboard and make a really big one or out of wood. tempted to buy the small one just to do that.

VLADCOLE, you are a faddist. FAD. DIST. You probably wore flannel in the early 90s and now have safety pins in your jacket.

Why stick a head of a cardboard rhino on your wall? It's deliberately cutesy-badass. Like, deer are too girly, I'm going to add a couple steps to the food chain and make it a fierce animal... made of cardboard. You know what would make that fierce? Get a cardboard whole entire rhinoceros. Get rid of your space-wasting bookshelves and craigslist that thrift store coffee table you painted orange, and make room for rhinos. In your living room. Why be the same when you can be different? Come on!

I have only seen it on design blogs, only person I know who has one in their house is me. I got it from VEER, when I received a catalog for fonts because I am an art director at a mag. Well I saw the deer in their catalog and thought it was great. Bought it and spray painted it white. Put a spray-painted white frame around it too. I think it looks great, not over done, but I would probably feel that way if I only thought about how often its posted about in design blogs.

my half-done livingroom:

I tried one of the deer and the quality was horrible it did not fit together at all and the company was very rude.
