Hanging Furniture: Modular Wall Sofa, Shelving & Storage Inspired by mountains – and perhaps the hanging lodgings of mountain climbing campers – this modular wall couch-and-bed idea is designed to be a flexible, modular and custom seating solution that allows users to create and construct their own conceptual interior ‘landscapes’ for sitting on or laying down in. Wall-suspended polygons are at the structural core of this sofa design by Nicole Losos, layered with cloth to provide essential support and with added pillows and cushions to create comfortable zones and areas. Impromptu storage areas and shelving units also emerge in the eccentric intersections of this example. The additive nature of the idea is perhaps the most engaging: it invites people to interact with and expand this strange suspended wall furniture over time, installing lamps, audio equipment and other amenities over time – a kind of living, growing and evolving interior design object.
Stunning Realism in Oil Paintings by Pedro Campos. 46-year-old Pedro Campos – artist from Madrid. Using oil paints, he re-creates an incredibly realistic still lifes, which are very easily mistaken for photographs. He works in a variety of areas – from design and interior illustrations (in advertising) to the restoration of furniture, paintings and sculptures. A painting he generally began only 30 years old. “I think the development of my own drawing style strongly influenced the process of restoring paintings – said by the Spanish artist. – Restoration of the ancient art forces you to look for a solution in color: any personal contribution of the artist to remain unnoticed. ” While many compare Campos with other masters of realism, he admires artists such as Lucien Freud, Richard Estes, Francis Bacon, Antonio Lopez and Anish Kapoor for the specifics of their work. Below you will find a small selection of the incredible work of Pedro Campos.

This Coke Bottle It's pretty ballsy to redesign one of the planet's most iconic shapes and completely blow it out of the water. Last we checked, Coke's bottles were some of the most recognizable objects on earth, and so powerful when it came to branding that in 2008, Coke transformed the capsule-like two-liter bottle into the same sexy curves. But dare we say design student Andrew Kim has created a concept that's equally powerful, all in the name of sustainability. Kim has taken inspiration from companies like Fiji, whose squared-off bottles use shipping space more efficiently, but he also creates the ability for these bottles to be nested, saving space both horizontally and vertically. He also proposes a collapsible, accordion-like action for the bottles after they're used, saving space when being transported to the recycling center. He does have a point: Those curvy bottles don't flatten so well, adding bulk in the blue bin. [Andrew Kim]

Unique Wineglass Posted on December 28, 2009 by saya Uh…who would ever suppose that the odd item is actually a wineglass? And what is more surprising is that the wine doesn’t spill out at all. You know why? Check the pictures below, and you’ll find that’s due to the equivalent atmospheric pressure inside the left spherical vessel and the glass on the right. Designer: Kyouei Design The Infinity Room With this immersive installation, French artist Serge Salat invites visitors to take a journey through endless layers of space, decked out with cubic shapes, panels of mirrors, shifting lights and music. “Beyond Infinity” is a multi-sensory, multimedia experience that blends Eastern Chinese with Western Renaissance. Inspired by the Suzhou Gardens, a masterpiece of Chinese landscape, the three-lined trigram of I Ching is the main pattern that organizes the space of the work. Salat uses mirrors as optical illusions, exploding a single room into spatial infinity. via [Architizer] Views: 422998 Tags: Serge Salat, The Infinity Room, architecture, design
Creative Colorful Installations As Street Art A lonely gray road, an empty street, a concrete wall and dirty manhole covers can all be so much more fun when decorated with colorful art. That was exactly on the French street artist OakoAk’s mind when he started this street art project. He places humorous and clever installations at the most surprising places out in the streets. They are certainly eye catching and fun to spot when your out taking a walk. Another bad-ass street artist that is really killing it as well, is the famous MTO and his awesome graffiti.

Calling All Oil Sheiks: Here's the $160 Million Floating Island of Your Dreams Wally--a company that makes stunning modern yachts--and the French fashion house Hermes have teamed up to design a new boat: The appropriately named WHY, a full-blown solar-powered island. Just unveiled at the Abu Dhabi Yacht Show (of course), the WHY is 190 feet long and a whopping 125 feet wide--making it a dream for any billionaire who can't find enough space off land for his phalanx of Cristal-swigging bikini babes. In all, the boat has the square footage of a mansion--some 34,000 square feet. As Wally's president, Luca Bassani Antivari, explained it to The Guardian: Everybody's dream is to live on an island, in complete freedom, without constraint, with the independence that only self sufficiency can provide. Right you are! The boat is meant to cater to 12 guests, with "master space", "guest space" and "common space." [The Guardian via Space Invading]
