Stuff We Like: Wayne Coyne’s Bathroom

You know how some celebrities are so far beyond the normal box that thinking about them doing everyday things in everyday environments seems kinda wrong? Flaming Lips’ Wayne Coyne has always been like that for me. Like, imagining him waking up in a normal house and walking down his normal hall and taking a normal poo in a normal bathroom just doesn’t work for me. As it turns out, I was right; Wayne Coyne doesn’t even poo like a regular person.

It shouldn’t be surprising that any visual endeavor instigated by Mr. Coyne and his equally creative wife, Michelle, would be balls-out ridiculous and surrealistically perfect. Add in an architecture firm that “approaches architecture as a form of art, creating built forms and spaces that both inspire and serve as meaningful places of purpose” and you’ve got an instant Kubrickian space-dream win. With components described in architectural sketches as “bath pod,” “fountain egg,” and “dragon mosaic body fabric wings,” it’s oddly comforting to know that the Flaming Lips’ frontman is as left-of-center in his home life as he is onstage.
