Saucy Secret: QR Code Covered Room Hides a Hot Surprise

This hotel room is decorated entirely in scannable QR codes, each of which is encoded with a rather saucy surprise. Modez Hotel, located in the Dutch city of Arnhem, contains rooms decorated by over 30 talented designers. The QR Code Room is the work of Antoine Peters, whose goal was to create a room that exists in two worlds at once.

At first glance, the room looks extremely abstract. The repeating black and white spots all over the walls, linens and furniture do not themselves represent any recognizable images. When you scan the codes with a smartphone, however, their real purpose becomes evident.

The codes all contain links to (to put it delicately) piquancies. Sexy photos, racy videos, arousing texts and other titillating material are all hiding behind the seemingly tame black and white pixellated patterns. Because, as the designer puts it, “[A]ren’t we surrounded by porn everywhere nowadays?”

The result of Peters’ efforts is an abstract world that is secretly hiding a very graphic, adult layer. It is, in many ways, an analogy for the wider world. Our polite daily lives often hide quite a different private side – much as these innocuous black and white furnishings mask a drastically different environment. Once you’ve seen the hidden side, you can never see this hotel room in the same way again.

Sip + Crunch: Edible Cookie Coffee Cup is a Delicious Dish

A nice cup of coffee in the morning is one of those simple pleasures that sets the mood for the entire day. The Cookie Cup from Italian company Lavazza makes that simple pleasure even better by eliminating the need to wash dishes after the java is gone.

The edible cookie cup is made of a light (but sturdy) pastry and lined with sugar to make it waterproof. The sugar dissolves slightly to sweeten the coffee as you drink it.

The tasty cup is softened a bit by the time you finish your coffee and melts in your mouth as you munch it. As anyone who has dipped cookies in coffee knows, the two tastes combine divinely. If there is anything that can top the elimination of some dirty dishes, it’s a yummy snack to go along with some delicious coffee.
