‘Machines That Almost Fall Over’ by Michael Kontopoulos.
A system of sculptures that is constantly on the brink of collapse. My intention was to capture and sustain the exact moment of impending catastrophe and endlessly repeat it.

Kitchen (Reduced to 88%) by Mark Manders.
Thomas Coccimiglio is one of the six graphic designers who were asked to design graphical objects for the exhibition called ‘From Graphic Subject To Graphic Object‘. One of his designs is this object called ‘Shadow’. It perfectly fits this definition:
The graphical object is not a design object. It doesn’t serve a purpose but offers multiple uses.
You can visit this exhibition in Brussels, Belgium, till Oktober 11th.
This image made me smile. Soarin’ by Paul Octavious.
Crystal City Mind is a multi-faceted design object made from high polished high grade steel and matte black surfaces. During the course of this summer Coordination and diephotodesigner.de toured the Berlin inner city with the sizable object, capturing impressions along the former Berlin wall. The images developed thereby show how rapidly Berlin has evolved in the last 20 years, as living old and new congregate.

Note to myself: stop checking out Japanese architecture!
This House N by Sou Fujimoto Architects is … I’m just speechless. Iwan Baan made those photos and of course he has some more here.
I saw Tom Price his PP Blue Rope Meltdown Chair for the first time over a year ago when he presented it during the Salone del Mobile in Milan. Apparently he made more variations of the initial chair with different materials. The production technique is quite simple. You take a pile of some sort of plastic, then you press a very hot metal seat in it and you’re done. These ones are made with fleece clothing. Excellent!
