DNA 11 Labs Wants to Eternalize Your DNA in Rugs, Wallpaper, Glass and Waterwalls

DNA 11, the company that previously brought us personalized DNA portraits on canvas, is looking into expanding its offerings and has set up a website called DNA 11 Labs, where it has put a few new exciting designs and people can vote which idea should go into production first. So far the listed ideas include a rug, wallpaper, glass portraits, a waterwall, and a fingerprint bowl. However, you can also submit your own ideas, or if you can’t wait, pre-order either the rug or the waterwall. All this beauty won’t come cheap, as pre-order prices for the rugs are listed as $999 to $4999 depending on size.
The old-fashioned DNA portraits are also still available for order at a more affordable 164 euros. The procedure for acquiring the art is simple: you receive a DNA collection kit, swab the inside of your cheek and send it back to the company, after which they extract the DNA and create a southern blot-like print of it. The pattern can be printed in one of 25 standard colors or custom color-matched to your interior. Here is a short video of a DNA waterwall installed on a NY city rooftop:
