DB Fletcher’s Capstan Tables are amazing, expanding round dinner-tables. When you spin them by the outer edges, they separate into sseveral pie-shaped radial slices, revealing more slives beneath that rise up to make a seamless, much larger surface. Spin the table-edge the other way and the table shrinks back again. The videos have to be seen to be believed.

The Bodleian Library at Oxford University proves once again that nothing in life is either easy or as it at first seems. The full manuscript section tends to have either minute 20kb thumbnails that are virtually impossible to view or >10Mb juggernaut files that have crashed my browser, image program and computer on a few occasions in the past.

*Mogga was designed for small spaces. Imaginary scenario was created where people would need a chair that could be turned into a table with ease. Function was inspired by old breadboxes and was tested on another design project leading to the Mogga design.

Wonderlost is an ongoing project in which Raymond Sepulveda reimagines the major characters from Lewis Carroll’s Alice in Wonderland and Through the Looking Glass as slightly-disturbing porcelain dolls with more than just a little dark side.

Eu vi essas esculturas de Cornelia Parker e me lembrei do Grito de Munch. Tanto a pintura de Munch quanto as esculturas de Parker me dão a mesma impressão: o tempo paralisado, um segundo antes de algo acontecer. É o segundo congelado que antecede a catástrofe
