Admit it. You love construction paper. What’s not to love about construction paper? You can draw on it, cut it, and build just about anything.
Well now it is officially a material for making absolutely stunning sculptures.
Artist Jen Stark has created some stunning sculptures using nothing but construction paper. My words really can’t begin to do this stuff justice.
Go check out the full sculpture gallery. Amazing.
These Fuwapica chairs (which means “soft and flashy” in Japanese), are a set of stools designed to change color based on things such as mood and weight.
“Weight?”, you ask? Yes. The colors of the chairs change depending on your weight. Perfect for a social gathering of people who don’t know each other that well where there are most likely some self-conscious people around.
The weight thing aside, it also detects your mood. So say you are your friends are sitting around arguing about who knows what, chances are, the chairs (and the room) will have a nice red tint to it. The perfect way to fuel the fire.
Right now these chairs are in limited production and should you want to get a hold of a set, they’ll run you a cool $3,500.

The new Havaleena Light Bouquet from Tayo Design Studio is a snazzy little way to add some flare to your outdoor picnic or get-together.

A single set will run you around $150.
Picking blueberries with my family as a kid is always a great memory. Squatting for 3 hours to pick said blueberries is the part I like to forget. 🙂
Industrial designer, Kitta Perttula, has designed a fantastic gardening tool to solve the problem of squatting and bending over in the garden.
Her Sasa Saddle Pail is a both a stool and a bucket. Simply sit on the saddle and drop the fruit and veggies you’re picking right in to the bucket! Ingenious!
It runs around $45USD at the Design Forum Shop.

I don’t care if you like or absolutely despise vegetables, these Mutatoes by artist Uli Westphal are fantastically mind boggling…if not a tad scary.
Uli has created an entire slew of “mutant” vegetables that are perfectly edible and are actually available at farmers markets in Berlin!
Check out the entire Mutatoes collection here.

So you come home late one evening and it’s pitch dark in your apartment…except for your glowing Meeraboo-2007 ST-1 (that you pronounce fully every time you talk about it). Thank goodness you’ve got this handy table/lamp.
The glowing orb underneath the table projects light through a hole in the table onto your ceiling to provide a small amount of light.
The orb itself is the perfect place to drop pocket-junk like your keys, watch, wallet, iPhone, etc etc.
I can’t imagine this table costing less than your right arm.
