Truly a fascinating place in China. Sadly the source doesn’t say where exactly is this garden. Nevertheless it is very beautiful and the sculptures are very creative like the giant tea pot that is pouring steaming hot tea into a cup or the waterfall from a palm of a hand. It would be interesting to try and make one of these but I wouldn’t know where to start.

These conceptual souvenirs were designed by Héctor Serrano. You email these to your friends or relatives who then materialize them using 3D printers. There is no standard production methods and no need to transport them, so the carbon imprint is reduced to the minimum. The project questions the way object are manufactured and new technologies are applied to propose alternative ways of reducing their impact on the environment. With the growing popularity of 3D printers such souvenirs will become very popular in the near future.

This is the largest 3d-street-painting ever done. The painting is about 280 square meters. The artist did an amazing job, they turned the street into a river. I love it when people stand on such pictures and it looks like they are a part of the painting.

Chameleon lamp
Fantastic lamp that changes color to match any color you place near it. A traditional bulb provides regular white light, whereas a LED ring around it projects a selected color into the shade, at the same time preventing the white light of diffusion with the projected color.
Design: Philips Design via YankoDesign.com
Medusa lamp
Medusa means ‘jellyfish’ in Spanish. Made from laser-etched Corian, which catches the form of this acquatic creature. A flexible element of colored light can be added, facilitating lamp mood’s change.
Design: Esposed.eu.com
Lego lamp
This concept lamp brings people together in their creativity. The connections are made from magnets, which allow electricity to pass by. Each cuve has one LED lamp inside. So just play around and connect your lamp however you want to.
Design: Sasinan Suthayalai via YankoDesign.com
Light lamp
Light lamp is lifted by helium inside the baloon lamp, which can float around for ten days. The lamp has a LED in it, which can be controlled in different modes - flashing or not. Many light lamps look like a cool party thing.
Design: Luc Schouten
Solar lamp
This solar powered lamp absorbs sun light and then releases it in the evening. You come home from work, and the light is already there. Very useful for electricity circuit breaks.

Lumen Tree
OK, the only lamp, whose price we know - it’s 59 bucks. Lumen Tree is an oil lamp, which projects tree shadows as it is lit. The farther Lumen is from the wall, the larger the shadow. As the flame flickers the shadow moves about organically.

Strange mobile phone concepts - which one will you choose?
Paper phone
“Paper Says” is a cellphone whose electronic innards are recyclable and whose outside is made of paper. The idea is for travellers, who first rent and use it, and then return so that the phone is recycled with a brand-new paper exterior.
Designers: Chia-Liang Hsu, Yi-Ting Chen, Jun-Lin Fu, Chih-Chieh Lee, Chun Chia Hsu, Allen Huang
Wacky BenQ Siemens
Crazy concepts by BenQ-Siemens. First, there is a snake-like phone, probably for wrapping around the arm, you can see the media player controls on the pictures.
Second one - twist the display around, and eventually the keypad part will form a stand for your mini screen.
A concept model with touch screen and sliding control panel.
Design by Product Visionaires GmbH
Pantech
Pantech concepts look mind-blowing too, this handset boasts with Moto PEBL-esque keypad.
Other Pantech concepts from Korean designers:

Nokia
Nokia’s Aeon has a touchscreen that stretches over the full surface area of the phone.
Motorola

U-Turn, a business phone that draws energy from the opening and closing of the keyboard.
Runaway, a sports phone that draws energy from movements during exercise

Thomas Broome is an artist from Sweden. He is a real freak, in a good meaning of this word. His works are weird and psychodelic, yet so creative!
Thomas Broome makes bugs of cut-out and folded Coca-cola cans.
He made a painted polymer sculpture of a man shot from behind
A dog-cat, polyformclay
A lifesize sculpture in painted acrylic glass, of a man built up with 1×1x1 cm cubes (pixels). The man has a innerlight which makes him seem like he just stepped out of the screenbased world into ours.
Thomas Broome is also the author of Modern Mantras. Modern Mantras are paintings, where all objects are drawn in words. See for yourself!
