The Coke bottle bed is made out of 1800 bottles of Coca Cola and some Christmas lights. As part of the Maximalism movement, this bed is a very good symbol of how our excesses of mass consumption can be glorified. Two People’s consumptions during one year were needed to collect enough bottles for a bed for those two people.

The task of the furniture in the environment of a Gothic Cathedral is to create the correct setting for viewers of this monument, which can function as an important tourist attraction. Using a gothic window as a source of inspiration for creating contemporary urban furniture generates a direct link between the furniture and the cathedral. There is also an educational interplay between aesthetics and functionality with the lightness and alternative forms of construction for which the gothic style is known being found in the seat. The originality of the gothic style juxtaposed with the recognition factor in the seat will, consciously or unconsciously, bring out a beautiful image of a modern and alternative form of the gothic in anyone who stops to take an interest. The Suger seat also has the capacity to fit in within other gothic environments in view of the fact that the style is central to the design. In order to avoid falling into the traditional shape of the gothic window, it is austerely surrounded with the original style.
