Installations by designer David Garcia is difficult to characterized with just few simpls words, so let`s the author speak: “Clearly non functional, they aim to appeal to the senses, creating a narrative which more often than not, reaches the absurd.” The Archive Series are unfortunately designed only to be exhibited. It would be a nice change to line up your books in these round and funny objects instead of linear and static shelves.

This ambitious concept of Self Sufficient House by architect Iana Kozak should be build in the city of Dnepropetrovsk, Ukraine. Each house cell will be from 2 to 5 floors high. As the dwellings upon the trunk does not occupy a lot of space, it creates a free space for a parking or recreation. The outer covering is made of natural cellulose that can absorb and store woter. Double walls with a membrane enable to take advantage of hydrostatic pressure and provide a natural thermoregulation. A leaf-like structure that should cover each roof will produce oxygen and filter the air.

A German wallpaper company “Surrealien” came up with eye tricking wallpapers design. Surrealien`s wallpapers wrap the pattern over existing objects in your room as windows, switches, pics or doors, so that an optic illusion of a continuous pattern is created. How do they do it? They have actually created a new wrapping wallpaper technology, when you have to provide a plan of your room, so the Surrealien designers can create a pattern custom made for your home. You can even create your own pattern that will be printed as  a wallpaper.

Designers of Surrealien wrote about their work: “Our conception blurs the border between architectural wall structure and applied interior decoration. Contrary to traditional mural painting, we do not create individual objects of art but generate functions that are adapted to the particular infrastructure of a room.”
