A dubiously described but pleasing to look at ‘five dimensional’ sculpture inspired by mathematics and the Fibonacci sequence.

Conceived by artist Ivan Black and Atellani, the Square Wave consists of 21 precisely bent metal rods and assumes various shapes and patterns depending on how it is held and the amount of kinetic energy applied to it.

Intended as a stress relief toy and possibly also a means of opening a portal to Hell or something.

Ah, the 1970s – a decade when grooming, coiffure, bodily hygiene and so forth was no longer the preserve of women.

Behold: the weird and wonderful 1939 Porsche Type 64 Coupe – built for  the 1,500-kilometer Berlin-Rome race, which never happened.

Regarded as the missing link between the Mk1 Beetle (whose engine it shares) and the post-WWII Porsche 356, only three were ever made and this is the third – kept by Professor Ferdinand Porsche himself as a family car.

Up for auction at Monterey this August.

The cabinet also incorporates hidden compartments and secretly accessed drawers designed by Robert ‘Stickman’ Yarger.
