Tiger/Tigris by Gábor Miklós Szőke
Constructed during Hello Wood, a week long art camp in Hungary bringing together students, architects, and designers to create projects for eight different Hungarian communities, “Tiger” was created for the Szakácsi community as a protector and symbol of unity. Would anybody be offended if I rode it? Just for like… two minutes. I have some latent He-Man fantasies I need to live out.

Literary Voms by Alicia Martín
In Casa de America, Madrid, Alicia created these streaming sculptures that utilize approximately 5,000 books a piece. Like the morning after a night out with a little too much drinky, these installations seem to be purging the poison that’s inside them, though literary knowledge may be something worth keeping down.

Instrumental Architecture by Bjoern Ewers
Created for the chamber orchestra of the Berliner Philharmoniker, this advertisment series depicts various instruments from the inside, viewing the interior as if from the perspective of someone living inside them, with natural light filtering in through the airholes. Seriously, find me a shrink ray, I’ll live inside a cello. I wont even complain about the neighbor’s music keeping me up all night.

Fractal Salt Mazes by Motoi Yamamoto
It’s not just for french fries and high blood pressure anymore: Yamamoto creates these sprawling labyrinthine designs using only salt. Also given to family members at the end of a funeral to ward off evil spirits, Motoi hopes that each line and branch of salt leads him to a memory of his sister, who died of brain cancer. This exhibit is currently showing at Hakone Open Air Museum in Kanagawa, Japan.

The Soft Lamp by Camilla Engholm Poulsen
This Seussian set of four lamps is made of mink fur and are attached via long, soft tentacle-y cords so you can drape one over your shoulder or lay it on your lap. I always wanted a lamp I could pet. Good lamp, goooood lamp. I love lamp.
