Interesting - almost spatial - paper bags by Good Design Company for the Takeo Paper Show.

Designboom has a great roundup of tiny houses, both built and conceptual.

Fragile Candy by Wooteik Lim - meant to bring to mind that while candy tastes good, it's also bad for you.

Leonardo Glass Cube by 3deluxe - I love how the detailing of the facade is picked up in the ground work.

Contexture Design's Bentwood coffee cuff - dual purpose jewelry for your arm and your coffee cup.

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

Too weird - x-ray photographer Nick Veasey uses either skeletons in rubber suits, or cadavers to capture the human form in his photographs. When working with cadavers, he has around eight hours to pose and shoot before rigor mortis sets in.

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

Chris Gray of We Shall See won Freitag's Design-A- Truck competition. In keeping with Freitag's recycling philosophy, Gray's tarpaulin will be cut up and made into bags. 2nd and 3rd place went to André-Alexander Glesemann and Anna-Paula Henschke.

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.

Sara Huston's Lifestyle Coffee Table - customized to store and display your favorite magazines.

Really gorgeous furniture from Hiromatsu.

Gig posters from Andrio Abero of 33RPM.

Christian Flindt's Rainbow chair - I love that he calls this the worlds first side-stacking chair.

Moss graffiti by Anna Garforth.

Love this - D-Vision created the Small Apple Dish to aesthetically incorporate your apple core when you are done with it.

Tom Dixon has released his 2008/2009 collection, including this Blow floor light in his signature copper.

A hillside house in Ushimado, Japan by Tezuka Architects - the entire rear facade opens up via some sliding doors.

Studio Mumbai's Palmyra House, constructed from louvers made from locally harvested Palmyra trees, allowing the facade to be both open and airy or closed for more privacy and protection.

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

A fresh take on a classic - Roma Lubimov's CMYK pen.

David Ngo's Toumei sake carafe has an LED in the base that illuminates the remaining sake. As the carafe is emptied, the light becomes less diffuse.

In his ‘Camouflage’ series, Liu Bolin painstakingly paints his subjects so that they blend into their surroundings.

Schindlersalmerón created the ZipShape as an investigation into new method of construction, where panels made out of any material can be easily bent without the use of any molds or jigs.

David Aspinall created "Shredding is all about..." as a means of exploring methods of creating 3-D letter-forms from 2-D materials.

I love Shelley Spicuzza's ReGlow fixture which is made from a hamster ball with holes into which empty plastic bottles are screwed. It not only cuts down on waste, but it looks really good, too.

Designboom highlights Joel Escalona's new Tubo Chair Collection - each piece is made from a seemingly continuous piece of bent stainless steel.

You've seen Tanya Aguiniga's gorgeous furniture here before (posts 9141 and 8842) but if you haven't checked out her website recently, take a look - I love the combination of the product image and the macro-photography that changes with each project.

Mctega is the result of a collaboration between two scientists who use industrial chemistry mass production techniques on a much smaller scale to create one of a kind pieces of jewelry.

The Chubby Brothers dining table by Brian Lee takes the ubiquitous dining table and camouflages it by giving it the appearance of a solid object, until the chairs are removed.

The Tenfold Collective designed the USA Swimming sponsor brochure for the Beijing Olympics.

Tamsin van Essen's Contamination cups are a little on the gruesome side - each appears to have been infected by a different bacteria type, bringing the microscopic to the macroscopic level.

Valerie Hegarty takes a counterintuitive approach to art - recreating and then destroying famous works of art - burning, ripping, shooting and otherwise destroying the work of her hands.

Sebastian Gronemeyer's Orchid Chair.

Fragile Lab is an apt name for this retail showroom by Import/Export Architecture. The facade appears tenuous with its off-kilter columns. Designboom has some great interior shots.

Hanna Nyman's 3-D wallpaper invites the user to peel off the outer layer to expose the design underneath.

Along the lines of post 13070, Designboom has a nice round up of some designer yachts. Above is Mael Oberkampf's Raven

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.

Kim Beck's A Field Guide to Weeds "masquerades as a 19th century pocket guide, but a guide in which the weeds themselves have taken over."

KDDI au recently unveiled the conceptual PLY Mobile Phone - a tabbed phone/printer/digital projector/game controller all-in-one. Each tabbed layer has its own distinct function.

Henrietta Swift's Letter Envelopes - a playful take on the traditional security envelope.

Hourglass salt and pepper shakers by Vitamin.

The Mighty Bearcats' Skin Series Bud Vase looks like porcelain but it's actually made of a soft and flexible plastic.

Takashi Sato's Tong lamp is influenced by kitchen tongs - a piece of bent aluminum sandwiches the light bulb enclosure.
