The Golden Turd

I saw this strangely shaped object atop one of Tokyo's buildings back in early January when I was visiting the Asakusa Temple. It was built for Asahi Breweries who also own the gold building on the left, which is meant to look like a glass of beer with a white head of foam. The sculpture is actually called "Flame D'Or", and symbolises the vigor and spirit of Asahi employees. I found out it was designed by Philippe Starck, who also designed this funky juicer. If I was working at Asahi, I think I'd prefer to have the juicer on my building.
