By clashing technology with old world charm, Luke Twigger’s ceramic ‘speakers’ and kitsch, fun and works! Someone hand my my iPod…
Leicester’s Ratcliffe Fowler Design was commisioned by Nike to install this 3000 football “Ballman” sculpture in a mall in Johannesburg. Though not a new idea, since Tom Dixon already executed the same idea as far as four years back with the Swarovski Ball Chandelier, it still is quite the sight to behold, and perfect for football lovers everywhere.
Always fancied owning a Damien Hirst, AND a huge fan of Jaws? Now you can have them both, two in one! Buy it at Other Criteria, for a mere 11,000GBP.
With her tiny hands, Jenine torches Pyrex glass into a fragile transparent robotic work of art. (I assume she must have tiny hands to achieve such precision and minute details… look at those tiny fingers!) Standing at a mere 3 inches, I’d gladly welcome my robotic overlords if there were all so pretty looking. Your for a steal at just USD200. Moveable joints! Moveable joints!!
My favourite artist, Anish Kapoor, and his range of sculptures covered in powder coloured red, yellow and blue, from the 1980s. The shapes, the shadows they cast, and the sheer graphic goodness of these we cannot deny!
Chris Vicini has a beautiful world of Idiotheim made of delicate porcelain and filled with whimsical creatures and characters that I would love to visit! via Yatzer
In three hours, while you are sipping your Mojito, remember these beautiful microsopic photographs of your favourite drinks. Apparently, the entire process—letting a droplet of liquor dry out completely on a slide in an airtight container, and photographing the result with a 35mm camera—can take up to three months and as many as 200 attempts to properly capture the drink’s constituent parts. The bright colors in the mixed cocktails are the result of dried out citric acid and complex sugars. by BevShots via Gizmodo

Shawn Smith, inspired obviously by the 8-bit art pixel art movement, constructs amazingly precise three-dimensional pixel sculptures out of paint and wood.
Marianne Kemp does amazing stuff with horse hair, simply by dying and weaving them into works of art. I especially love the Bubbles series, where rings of horse hair never looked so happy!
Tokujin Yoshioka has done it again with a tightly edited aesthetics and a clear visionary idea. Now the problem is we all want something is we cannot have… yet.
“For this symbolic work, Tokujin set up the concept of “Wearing the scent of crystal.”
While Tokujin has been conducting several collaboration projects with Swarovski, he was commissioned to come up with a concept design for a product that symbolizes Swarovski.Rather than by rearranging visual shapes, he pondered of designing a perfume bottle with a throughly new concept, which is to affect the senses.The intent of the design is to bottle crystal within perfume, and to let the crystal fit in the scent.
Even this project had not been realized, Tokujin developed a new perspective.”
