You want your home furnishings to be as unique as you are, right? Well, why not take that notion literally by getting a flower vase that's custom-made based on the design of your fingerprint? It's an idea so crazy it just might work.
Using rapid-prototyping technology, you can have a vase made that's a topographical representation of your fingerprint. Just send your fingerprint in, they'll scan it into their computer, and a friendly robot will make your one-of-a-kind vase just for you. If only all furniture could be made with such personalization!
