When it’s a four panel kinetic sculpture.
The Evolution Door by Austrian designer Klemens Torggler opens and closes at the slightest touch, folding aside like origami, without crushing your fingers in the process (unless perhaps you’re using the steel one).
For now, the Drehplattentür (flip panel door) remains a prototype.
A nightmarish typeface designed by creative director JC Debroize of Studio Kerozen in Brittany. Shaped in modelling clay and finished in Photoshop using facial features sampled from the seven-person design team.
€16 from Etsy seller Stephanie Kilgast – one of many such aural confections.
A completely hatstand fixed-gear bike by Paris based design outfit WLWC (Watch Life With Curiosity), which, sez they:
…originates from the concept of reclaiming mass produced and generic objects and re-issuing them as individual and unique pieces.
The stealthy looking beast – which took 90 hours to hand-build – has a lightweight aluminum frame, cinelli handlebars, carbon fiber saddle, hand machined titanium brakes and bespoke pedals, all clad in scales from four reclaimed crocodile skins.
It costs €14,700.
A nifty cuttlefiish bottle opener in polished grey steel, available from Bathsheba Sculpture – yours for an ink-disgorging €62.50 .
Crack open a Cephalöwenbräu.
Cephalöwenbräu.
Ah forget it.
Birdcages modeled on the silhouettes of prominent museums from around the world by Spanish artist Marlon de Azambuja.
Above: the Tate in London, Frank Loyd Wrght’s Guggenheim in New York, The São Paulo Museum of Art in Brazil and the New Museum in New York.
A bike/scooter/rollerblade hybrid (€450) available in six colours and two sizes.
It’s called the AeYO.
As in Ae Yo, what the hell is that?
Built back in 2009, Madrid based architecture firm Selgas Cano’s sunken office in the woods: a tubular space with a wraparound glass wall allowing natural light and productivity-enhancing views of the woodland to flood in.
UK vehicle builders Attitude Autos’ adult sized, drivable version of the classic Little Tikes Cozy Coupe, constructed on the chassis of a Daewoo Matiz, stripped, remodelled and repainted in the trademark red and yellow livery of its plastic progenitor.
Unlike the original, this one is capable of what one can only assume to be an utterly terrifying 70mph.
