There’s nothing like stepping out of bed or the shower onto a plush fur rug, even if it’s just the $40 sheepskin variety from Ikea. For those whose budgets stretch beyond the big blue box, Great Outfit provides some of the most luxurious fur rugs and interior products we’ve come across. In addition to rugs, the Finish fur company’s Gof Living collection includes a variety of ultra-soft blankets and cushions, each finished in the finest natural materials available.
PETA supporters beware, you won’t find anything faux in the Great Outfits inventory. Started in 1960, the company began sourcing its furs directly from hunters but has evolved over the past 48 or so years to include a team of young designers who pump out the fresh modern designs you’ll see in the gallery below.

We’ve seen hip-hop inspired pillows, but the Ghetto Basics ghetto blaster pillow from German designer Andreas Kraeftner is our favorite to date. Kraeftner hails from Munich, Germany and his focus on hood-inspired products is pretty comical, but his work stands for itself. Among Kraeftner’s other ghetto designs is a bar of gun soap carrying the tag line “wash by shooting.” Our German needs some work to say the least, but as far as we can tell, you’ll need to contact the designer for purchase information. Even if you don’t spreken zie Deutsch, Kraeftner’s website is good for a few laughs.

Electronic House posted pictures this morning of a luxury home theater install performed as a collaboration between Carmel, Indiana based Tri-Phase Technologies and an unnamed interior designer for a family basement. Despite some technical challenges, the installer and designer worked together to create a theater that is, in our opinion, extremely functional and luxurious at the same time. The Tri-Phase installed system is mid-priced, but more importantly low-tech and easy to operate. And the theater’s recessed, rounded central couch makes watching a movie more of a group activity than would rows of individual theater chairs. Along the back wall, the design team worked to integrate a bar counter in view of the theater screen, as well as a nearby concession room, where family members and guests can go to select their own snacks. We’re a fan of the installer and designer’s smart design, which should serve as a good model for future functional family theaters. Follow the jump for two more images.

Here’s a trophy head that we can get behind. Norwegian brand Northern Lighting’s Moo light combines the look of a moose head trophy with the practical function of wall-mounted mood lighting. The lightweight moose head lamp is constructed from poly-resin and can be used both indoors and outdoors. PETA still probably wouldn’t approve, but we do. The Moo light is available through select European retailers.

We’ve seen eco-friendly fireplaces before, like Safretti’s wall-mounted lineup, and we’ve generally been impressed with their unique designs. Digifire’s clean-burning artistic fireplaces are no exception. Like other eco-friendly fireplaces, Digifire’s high-tech creations run on a blend of ethanol that’s continuously fed into the fire, allowing it to burn from 13-25 hours.
What sets Digifire’s fireplaces apart from the rest of the clean-burning pack is the company’s inventive designs and equally interesting names. The company’s current collection includes the Hot Chocolate coffee table fireplace (thumb 1), the fish-tank-looking Window fireplace (thumb 2), the elongated rectangular Ribbon Fire fireplace (thumb 3), and the circular Orbiter (pictured above).
All of Digifire’s clean-burning models are managed by a remote control, meaning you can turn them on and off with the touch of a button, as well as adjust the flame levels to set the mood.
