One day, as Sylvain was looking for a new cardboard project, I showed him a beautiful cardboard street light. He was so crazy about it that he decided to create one. When that was finished, it was time to find another idea. I figured, why not look to the street for more inspiration? That’s how the idea of the surveillance camera came up.

The puppet, which is designed by Christopher Kelly and has been specially commissioned for Greenpeace, is the size of a double-decker bus and weighs around three tonnes. She will require 15 puppeteers to operate on Sunday, alongside 20 volunteers to haul her through the streets. As she walks through the city she will emit gutteral rumblings, and her roar will be accompanied by the sound of ice breaking and animals bellowing. Following the bear will be thousands of supporters as well as a parade of "Arctic-inspired carnivalesque performers".

Over half of people aged over 65 in the UK say they feel lonely. We hate the thought of people being stuck indoors with no one to talk to and nothing to do. This is when we thought - why not give retired ladies a reason to get out of the house and put all those years worth of nurturing and chat to good use?

A nice overview by the always-wonderful It's Nice That:
There’s nothing inherently romantic about an escalator (it’s moving steps for goodness sake) and yet that doesn’t stop these mundane parts of our everyday lives assuming certain cultural characteristics. Maybe it’s because in our turbo-charged, techno-centric world, the escalator is a defined time period where all we need to do is stand and stare at those passing us in the opposite direction, or just lose ourselves in indulgent reverie. Most urbanites will recognise the momentary thrill of falling in love with a passing hottie as your lives cross for a few seconds, plunging in opposite directions; almost certainly never to meet again.

The Remix Sound Sideboard was created for the brand Tivoli Audio. It provides the perfect space for Tivoli’s Radio Combo. While the radio combo is visible, you can hide less beautiful devices in the lower cases.

Literal wall beds solve the problem of the increasing demand on availability of space, folding neatly against the wall when not in use, whilst offering the comfort and practicality one expects from a regular bed.
Simple installation of bed takes, typically, 20 minutes to 1 hour. Two vertical brackets based on the floor are secured to the wall with rawl plugs and screws, with bed(s) hinged in between. The vertical brackets bear the load of bed through the floor.
Literal beds easily open and close in seconds. Locking bolt holds bed vertically when not in use. Straps hold mattress and bed linen in place when the bed is in its’ closed vertical position. Locking bolt secures bed in horizontal sleeping position.

Made possible by the tremendous folks of the NASA Visible Earth team, I downloaded the twelve cloud-free satellite imagery mosaics of Earth ("Blue Marble Next Generation") at each month of the year. I wrapped them into some fun projections then stitched them together into a couple animated gifs...
Having spent much of my life living near the center of that mitten-shaped peninsula in North America, I have had a consistent seasonal metronome through which I track the years of my life. When I stitch together what can be an impersonal snapshot of an entire planet, all of the sudden I see a thing with a heartbeat.
