Chair Made From 374 Dowels Will Leave Fascinating Patterns On Your Butt
Kibardin Design's "Deep Forest" armchair is made from 374 shaped and creatively-joined dowels. It's as if you plopped into a giant container of different-sized dowels that retained your shape after you left. Pretty, but pricey, at over $6,500USD. [Core77] -

Office Building Or Home To A Super Heroine?
Switzerland gets all the cool offices. This particular one's dubbed "Cocoon" and acts as headquarters for an architecture firm. I prefer to imagine it as home to a super heroine who zoom-zoom-zips down that spiral and saves the day. More » -
