Beautiful Beast by designer Martin Azúa – a golden spider with very sharp flexible legs that grip the skin when applied. Martin sez:

The process of fastening is almost surgical, the skin is disinfected, it is applied and it is removed with a small mechanical artefact. The process is not free of danger and pain.

Fair enough.

Kieth Harrison sez:

On Good Friday last month, Matchu from the Raw Edge Crew and I went down to Dublin’s Poolbeg Lighthouse. The weather was absolutely perfect, so I bought some lino, grabbed the slowmo camera and we shot for a few hours.

A conceptual vertical train hub by UK designers Christopher Christophi and Lucas Mazarrasa which received an honourable mention in eVolo magazine’s skyscraper design competition.

The design – envisaged for a world 60 years hence where the need for high speed transit vies with the limitations of urban space –  flips the horizontal layout of a rail terminal on its end to create a cylindrical mass into which trains arrive hovering above magnetic rails then pivot in the style of ferris wheel carriages as they ascend to platforms within the tower.
