This alien invader is so eager to get hold of your beer supply, he's disguising himself as a mini-fridge. Okay, so it's not the most cunning disguise ever, but he's counting on the fact that alien-looking fridges and other housewares are all trendy nowadays. At least, British furniture brand Established & Sons thinks so — it's collaborating with Dutch designer Maarten Baas to create The Chankley Bore, a new line of alien-schwag for your home.
Baas is known for making neat pieces of furniture by repurposing different materials like clay, waste from giant furniture plants, and IKEA stools. The only drawback of these alien creatures is that you can't always tell, at a glance, what function they're supposed to serve. Until it's too late, that is. Images by Mike Goldwater

so want.
I, for one, welcome our new furniture overlords.
NO DAMNIT! TAKE ANYTHING BUT THE BEER!
@Log1c: chuck a zima at them.
Fool me once, shame on you...
Fool me twice...
I fear the biological tyrants, rabidly evolving in my fridge far more than these upstarts.
@CMG: That would only work if they are the M Night or WotW type aliens...
Meh, they don't match my lamp that looks like the heat ray from Pal's War or the Worlds.
@CMG: Now you're just talking crazy. We want them to not take our beer, not start some sort of inter-galactic (planetary) war.
@CMG: I used that same logic on girls in high school
Do they even still make Zima? ...Or did they just re-bottle all the surplus as Sprite and sell it to misfortunate shleps who would be none the wiser.
...Oh wait! Now I get it. THAT'S what the resurgence of Fanta advertising was all about!
People! Fanta is Zima!
Stop drinking it, it's made out of Zima!
My god! They made it out of Zima! Damn them! Aiiigh those damn dirty apes..they made it out of Zima!!
@Miranda Kali: Now that you mention it, Fanta does taste like Zima with a Jolly Rancher in it.
Not that I would know what either of those tastes like, as I have standards, dammit!
so cool...auuuuughhh..
Chankly Bore... do they come from the Torrible Zone?
