The ‘IKEA skull’ is a lil piece of artsy stuff made from cardboard. each edge of the skull has been lined with IKEA measuring tape and the best part is that it [...]

How cool is this!? part photography, part art, part furniture. i’d love to see it in situ, i’m sure it’d evolve as you walked around in the space and it revealed it’s true form.
Mike Womack is doing some very cool moduar work too. I like it.

these ‘pre chewed’ pencils are created by concentrate – a design studio in London who focus on eliminating distractions in the school classroom and help kids to well… er.. concentrate. I also think they were on dragons den. Kudos x10 then.

some great, simple photography, with dark symbolic similarities, ironies and metaphores. predominantly through the coupling of two or more objects. It’s now in the ‘i wish i had done that’ pile.
Machiel’s work is here

Hiroshima / Nagasaki / Chernobyl Epicentres
as you can probably see this isn’t a graphic with actual information about various nuclear explosions, “rather a re-interpretation (geometric solution) that is based on 2 graphics”. pretty neat.
