I don’t know what was in Mario Philippona head when he created these pieces of erotic furniture. His work is inspired by the most attractive female forms, and his pieces available for sale are hilarious. The pieces might be unique, but they are to much, for example how would you explain to your kids that the furniture looks like a woman part ? Mario Philippona is a Dutch craftsman that specializes in erotic furniture carvings and he uses the female anatomy as inspiration for his range of cupboards, wardrobes and tables. Mario Philippona said : “The shape of a woman, her organic architecture, combined with my passion for wood inspired me to sculpt these sexy designs.” Finally I don’t think that to many people would buy a piece of furniture like this, and for Mario I would like to suggest to use his skills to create things that are a little bit more useful, and not so vulgar ( or maybe these pieces were created just to get some attention ? ).

I would totally buy this stuff! you know, if i wasn’t a starving
artist and all. I’d have to get some man wood to go with it (har,
har) but seriously, male furniture of this type would be awesome
as well

Ideal for brothels.

This is one of the least creative thing that I have ever seen, and by far the least compelling article I have ever viewed at this website. My objection is not based on morals or anyhting self-righteous, it is just lame. I can’t even picture a lounge lizard purchasing this product? Maybe a 12 year old

This is not “hilarious”. It’s just one more example of women=things. And it’s offensive.

I’m female, straight, 51 yrs old and, as an artist, I find this furniture amazing! The human body is beautiful, and it continues to surprise me how so many find things like this offensive. There is nnothing pornographic or in poor taste about these great creations. Kudos to the artist. It takes great skill and quite an eye to produce work of this quality and at this level of skill. Now, a nice wall cabinet of a finely formed male torso would be something I’d love to acquire.

i can see how its sophisticated to people and to an extent i agree. I can see how some deep peopl can see how it represents the beauty of the human body and that’s fine. although its nothing i would ever have.
I also think that it is trashy and offensive as shallow perverts just look at it and only think about the obvious

Absolutely disgusting. Women are not things nor are their orifices meant to have objects rammed in them. This just perpetuates the absolute BS women have to endure on a daily basis from perverted old f*#$s!

This also really irritates and disgusts me. I agree, the craftsmanship is incredible, and the parts of the body he chooses to display are gorgeously done. The problem lies in the fact that all of the bodies are displayed as ready and waiting, open, dismembered, without any type of individuality or recognition that they would be connected to heads that think or arms that work – notice the lack of arms? It’s fetishizing helplessness, reinforcing the idea that women are constantly sexually available, and aggressively separating the sexualized female body from any reality of actual women.

I’m a nude art model and all about the artistic use of the human form. However, any temptation I might have had to think of these as legitimate art was ruined by the high heels that just make them scream “tacky objectification.” Feet are part of the female anatomy. Heels are a part of a “women as object” aesthetic that would make a good major bowling award. Perhaps this is what the artist is aspiring to?
Nevermind that any first semester art student can tell you what it probably means about the artist’s view of women when he won’t include their head in any of the pieces…

Looks like there are both men and women who love and who hate these works. That was a surprise to me, and a relief. My own response is modulated. There are some I really wouldn’t feel comfortable around–the half-woman with a drawer in the belly area is one, the half-woman desk support with the “functional” slots is another. I don’t like the fruit bowl either, because having breasts as feet for it makes the bowl look like an udder. Gee, maybe I could stop underestimating cows…
The wall cabinet and especially the bedroom cabinet cause me less discomfort, I find it easier to appreciate the design and workmanship. The latter is undeniably fine, but the question remains for me–is the maker really honouring the female, which, taken entire, is more than half of human life, or is he actualizing a compulsive fantasy which should have petered out sooner (pun intended)?
I think the use which he has assigned to each piece is a clue. I mean, to me, the relation between art and functionality is an awkward one and these pieces don’t all work. For example, either the top piece is a sculpture or it’s a dresser and if it’s a dresser, it can’t really compete with IKEA.

Ok. Fine. Furniture for lounge lizards and tacky people. Seriously, who bus this stuff? I love that the fruit bowl has 4 boobs btw. But where are the men? Where is the wooden penis/balls coat rack or armoire? Equality, please.

“Women are not things nor are their orifices meant to have objects rammed in them.”
EXACTLY. Plus I don’t see any “sculpture” of a male’s ass that you can stick a wine bottle into.
In fact I don’t see ANY dismembered male body parts as sculptures… WTF?
December 30th, 2008 at 2:06 am
Not that I think its ok if they are male parts too, but if you’re gonna have dismembered female art objects than have male ones too, geez.
