What, pray tell, is "Love Design"? Why, an exhibit of sexy, sensual art. While some of what's on display is just straight up sex toys (we hear LELO will be exhibiting their Luxe line), others—like Traces of an Imaginary Affair by Björn Franke—are more firmly positioned on the art and design end.

Fast Company has a preview of the event, which runs at the end of the month. We are so saving up our money so we can make it out next year.

It's true that some folks get turned on by being objectified, but that doesn't always mean they enjoy literally being turned into objects. This folks in this video, however, take objectification to a whole new level—like the second story of a house entryway, where one trussed up babe is turned into a human chandelier. Unfortunately, we don't have names* or dates to go with this clip (and the sound is a little wonky, as well), but it tells the intriguing tale of a man who basically spends all his time molding furniture out of latex-ensconced women. It's an odd hobby to be sure, but no matter what you think of a dude who builds electric female shrink wrapping machines, you've got to be impressed by the old world craftsmanship involved. The tables and chairs on display here make those Chippendale guys look like a bunch of corncob whittlers.

Whenever we're having a bad day and thinking that the Yahoo! thought police have sapped all the joy and goodness (read: naked boobies) out of Flickr, along comes something to reaffirm our faith in the world at large and in the talent and generosity of our fellow pervs. Our latest discovery is this group that collects some truly eye-popping dirty graphic art from pixel-pushers all over the interweb. The criteria for inclusion is pretty simple—"Explicit Porno Art & Design Graphic (Better with a lot of cream!)"—which gives a lot of leeway for everything from venereal-inspired vector art to classic woodblocks and advertising imagery to the reconstructed phone sex and escort flyer collages by our current faves, Viola & Attila (pictured in thumbnail). If all those glossy cards that people tried to shove in our hands while walking down the Las Vegas Strip looked like this, we might actually be tempted to call one of them during our next trip.

Tired of just sitting back and trying to entertain yourself with all the porn that other people are making—or just want to see if you have the mad editing skillz it takes to become the next Eon McKai, Michael Ninn, or Jack The Ripper? Thanks to the twisted geniuses at Pornocombo, you won't have to quit your day job to find out. The Mixer lets you put together your own high-tech porn soundtrack and add video clips and special effects to create your own mini-porntravaganza that'll at least be as interesting as anything you'll see in a Hustler or Vivid trailer compilation. Since the navigation is a bit tricky to master, you'll want to study the step-by-step instructions (accessible via the "Help" button on the bottom) before you begin, but we promise you'll be making your own Fleshbot-worthy artsy porn creations in practically no time. (Or at least a hell of a lot less time it'll take you to pack up and move to Porn Valley to see if you have what it takes to play with the big boys.)

As well evidenced by all those "Furniture And Naked People" spreads we've posted about in the past, nothing quite compliments the sensuous curves of an Eames chair or the playful visual rhythms of a George Nelson marshmallow sofa than the sensuous curves and, uh, playful rhythms of a gorgeous naked model. It's an idea that's taken to its logical extreme at the beautifully designed NakedModern, a design showcase and artist portfolio site that takes its nudes as seriously as it does a shopping spree at Knoll or DWR: you'll find work from six different photographers that's at least as notable for the beauty of the models as it is for the stunning price tags of the furniture they're stretching across. But don't think it's too deadly serious; all those outtakes they've posted from the various photo shoots prove that even design snobs have a sense of humor too. (Just don't confuse any of the works of furniture art on display with anything from IKEA's inventory or the kind of seating arrangements you usually find in your typical Porn Valley production. We're pretty sure their sense of humor about these things only goes so far.)
