when i moved into a nice old flat with a ceiling at roughly 3.5 meters height, i decided to put something stupid to the ceiling. strolling through ikea, i found those childrens furniture pieces made from plastic, and bought them straight away. i also bought a simple lamp to put on the table.

the chairs and the small table were diy-kits, so they consisted of parts anyway. the caps on the feet were perfect for my plan, since i could pre-mount them to the ceiling, and then attach the rest of the objects later. so for each object two opposite feet were mounted to the ceiling with just a simple screw, the lamp was mounted to the table, and the whole thing put up. the feet were secured with little nails that i put through the area where both parts match. the lamp was then connected to the mains outlet, and photos were taken.

i have to admit that it looked even better than i had imagined, everybody visiting loved the the thing, and some people responded to the upside-down picture with something like... "why dont you germans have doors straight down to the floor?" or "why is your floor painted white?" ... yeah right, bring em on. :)

the last picture is just the single pieces shortly after taken off the ceiling when we had to move out of the flat again.

so much for now, have fun,
felix.
