Terrain: loenhart&mayr designed a new Olympic ski jump in Garmisch-Partenkirchen, Germany. The jump has three competition decks and a 100 meter, cantilevered track that is accessed by 332 steps or a diagonal elevator.

Beautiful packaging design for Integrity Spirits' Lovejoy Vodka by ID Branding.

Masimilano Fuksas' Cave Painting Museum entrance - no more than an entrance to a museum, emerges from the cave to the valley below. It is sympathetic enough to its context in form, material, to both conceal and reveal itself.

Interesting Tender Tub by Maren Hartveld. It's made from a polyurethene coated foam rubber, which keeps it soft and warm instead of the traditional hard and cold tub.

I'm loving Andy Velgos' Ring Studies - some very conceptual and amazing pieces to be found.

Hyun Jin Yoon and Eun Hak Lee created the Back Light Unit to allow you to carry a little mood lighting with you at all times. It fits in your wallet and is turned on by flipping the bulb portion into the upright position.

Interesting tableware by Piet Hein Eek- almost looks like they are inside out.

Not just a bird house - a bird apartment complex! Maxime Delporte's La Mangeoire project.

The OBLO by Marko Pavlovic is a 3D puzzle for kids composed of spherical elements of various sizes, shapes and colors. The pieces must be twisted against a central axis in order to be disassembled or assembled. A Rubik's Cube for kids of sorts.

Hyun-Woo Sim's KeyLamp is turned off and on via the turning of a key. Also innovative - the shade is just a cloth hung over the bulb.

Yoon-Hui Kim and Eun-Kyung Kim's Solar Vertical Lamp is envisioned as being integrated into window blinds that are powered by solar energy during daylight hours, which can then be used to light a room at night.

Peskimo's Moustaches print for their new show "Even Dwarves Started Small" at a gallery in Bristol.

The versatile Paper Pack by MicroWorks - a folder cut from a single board that can be used as a file or a writing pad.

Gravity Rainbow - a new scissor print by Dan Funderburgh, letterpressed by Brooklyn-based studio I Am Still Alive, who have a nice collection of prints featured on their site.

Karim Rashid's Happy People glassware is designed to be reversible - eg. a margarita glass that becomes a shot glass when reversed. Love all of the contrasting shapes.

So strange - the Tuttuki Bako, an interactive game system that requires you to insert your finger into the device to interact with the games. The display shows a digital replica of your finger - you can then play with a panda or annoy a girl by touching her face.

Vienna beat the Guinness Book of Records for the tallest Lego tower in history, 96.7 feet tall. The tower was constructed by hundreds of children outside Vienna's city hall. I like the Lego construction gear.

House N by Sou Fujimoto Architects - love the blurred boundaries between interior and exterior spaces.

I'm so bummed that these are sold out - a pair of Dorthe Alstrup's photos on 20x200.

Start Here - linkable, customizable notebooks from Little Fury.

That trucker! I love him! Amazing illustrations by Russian artist Merdanchik.

Designboom rounds up a selection of outdoor furniture displayed at the 'Cour des H' at the Saint Etienne Biennale '08. Above: Soft Bench by Lucile Soufflet (top) and Répétition by Régis Bigot and Gaëtan Grenier (bottom).

Interesting graphic work by Lo Siento Studio. Their portfolio is worth a look.

Can you believe this is a bank? Italy's CheBanca! is rebranded by Crea International.

Sandro Lopez's Limu outdoor furniture series can be both a set of chairs and a sculptural element when not in use.

Sou Fujimoto Architects' amazing TINY Next Generation House in Japan - conceptually, a house made out of jenga blocks.

Peter Castellucci's Garbage Lamp - a fixture made out of "used, compulsively collected polystyrene drinking cups".

PIE studio (aka Project Import Export) makes very interesting hand-crafted furniture out of a series of natural materials - water hyacinth, liana, bamboo
and rattan.

Fox and Hare print by tracemyface.

Bullet Ice Cube Tray - for a killer drink.

I am very excited for this exhibition opening at Giant Robot tomorrow - “Game Over”, Art of the Gamer Generation. I love this print by PCP, which will be in the show.

The Xi Gallery by Mass Studies has some intense ground plane manipulations going on. Even though the ceiling and floor move around an incredible amount, through the surfacing and material choices, the two always read as surface and almost never as thickness.

Animal Shot Glasses by Goody Grams - for all you peeps out there with shot glass collections, here are some cool ones to add to the mix. They come in sets of two animals each: bear, bull, deer, moose or rhino.

Nice brooch/medal by Wildcatters, stamped with either "Blood & Sweat" or "No Tears". Made with grosgrain ribbon, brown suede, and a hand-stamped I.D. tag.

Nice molded plywood chair by Naruse Inokuma Architects for the Tendo Mokko furniture company.

Phaidon recently released their 2nd in the series of architectural tomes, the Phaidon Atlas of 21st Century World Architecture. Featuring projects built after 2000, it catalogs 1,037 of the world's most interesting built projects. And it comes with its own suitcase.

Nice gig poster by Garrett Karol for The Broken West.

Great new series of prints by Keetra Dean Dixon...Cordial Invitations: "You are cordially invite to..."

The Eat Better and Drink Better bowls by Victor Lee encourage good eating habits for your dogs by slowing down their consumption. Eat Better divides food into three areas, while Drink Better reduces the amount of drinkable water available at once with a floating disk.

Barca chair by Jacob Joergensen.

Jennifer Anderson's Drove chair. I like the faceted seat.

Nendo recently released “Talking”, a set of seasoning dispensers. The mouth on each dispenser is a phonetic representation of Yu, Shi and Ko (shoyu, shio and kosho - soy sauce, salt and pepper - respectively). Cute.

Sebastian Gronemeyer's Orchid Chair.

Mariana Tocornal created the Beecups Project as a way to investigate our emotional attachment to objects. By using an unconventional material with a conventional form, our understanding of the preciousness of the teacup is challenged.

Barry Sheehan and Gregor Timlin have teamed up to fabricate the Shelter Cart, a mobile living unit
for junk collectors/homeless. It would be nice if the cart had small perforations so that you could get air when sleeping.

Jeffrey Milstein's photographs are taken precisely at the moment that an aircraft is overhead, decontextualizing the cruciform shapes of jet aircraft and exploring the beauty of their forms and graphic designs.
