Clean Suicide helmet by Sebastian Errazuriz:

“DO IT RIGHT or Clean Suicide uses the helmets structural properties designed to contain the brain in case of a huge blow. In this case he inverted the concept; the helmet has a perforated side and a real gun permanently attached so that the suicidal person can put the helmet on, close the visor and shoot his brains out. Thanks to the “clean suicide” helmet, none of the friends or family have to clean the bits and pieces of brain from the walls afterwards. His peculiar sense of humor and reality is a weird mix that people have learned to appreciate and celebrate.”

In Case Vase, designed by Sara Ebert:

“The perforated ornamentation on the In Case Vase provides a secondary and potentially life-saving purpose. Were an intruder to attack, the vase can be smashed and turned against the aggressor. The pattern creates optimal shards to aid in your protection.”

“Short of opening a bottle with your teeth, we can’t think of a more manly way to crack a cold one than with a demilitarized .50 caliber bullet casing…which is exactly what this is. Made in the good ole US of A out of military grade ammunition by Bullets2Bandages, this bottle opener is probably the only way most of us are ever going to handle a fist-sized .50 cal round, but we’re ok with that.”

The interior of the fins retains the original turquoise paint, for a subtle wink of color.
