We learned about NanoBlocks from Fast Company - and it was love at first sight. We already thought cameras were toys - now we know for certain!
This little toy camera fits in the palm of your hand, then plugs directly into a computer. Build your own. Pick a color. Go old school Polaroid if you want.
What a joy!
We wanted to write a nice creative explanation about these ‘Urban Orbs in a Distopian World’ by Sashie Masakatsu. But then we decided to forget the commentary because they’re just cool.

Bigger than a Bread Box?
My parents taught me how to travel.
How to pack light (and well) and well, practically. As I continued traveling (and shopping!) on my own, I often heard mom’s advice about the purchases I contemplated. If it’s bigger than a bread box, it remains behind. We didn’t even have a bread box!
Times have changed, the internet can bring most everything to your doorstep. But there is something magical about carrying a special piece home and memorializing your experience and time abroad in a single object.

Travel On!
We find the universe so much clearer now. And you?
Frankly, we’d never given the elevator much thought, other than hoping to never be trapped in one. Then we saw this gorgeous old call button in a Brussels apartment building and wondered just how old is the elevator?
Here is what we found:
In 1857, Elisha Otis and the Otis Elevator Company began manufacturing passenger elevators. A steam-powered passenger elevator was installed by the Otis Brothers in a five-story department store owned by E.W Haughtwhat & Company of Manhattan. It was the first public elevator.
Amazing series of photos by Michael Wolf called Architecture of Density.
Do you recognize the city?
Would you live in these?
It’s the less glamorous side of Hong Kong to be sure. As long as you’re looking, don’t miss his series called 100 X 100 - just may be the interior shots to Architecture of Density.
Is it just us, or does this Nolen Niu Sleep Lounger highly resemble the United Nude Eamz Pump?

Filled to the Gills
Photos Of People Carrying Way Too Much Stuff - an understatement if there ever was one.
If you have traveled to Asia you have at least one variation photos like these. You watched one of these scenarios with your mouth gaping open.
We’re not sure which country takes the cake, but we are certain they will have stacked the cake on some shocking form of transportation to prove our point!
Someday we may just cobble together our own collection to share.

FriWe haven’t gotten a paper-cut yet, but at this rate, it won’t be long!
More spectacular manipulation of paper - this time by Australian paper artist Lisa Rodden. Intricate cuts reveal underlying paint to create magnificent manipulation of color and shadow.
We can’t decide what she must have more of: patience or plasters?!
The works by Nikki Nye & Amy Flurry are captivating. Their exquisite and intricate paper sculptures have been customized for Hermes, Cartier, and London’s Victoria and Albert Museum (exhibit is currently on show) - to name a few.
Visit their website by clicking the photo. But treat yourself to a quick google search to see all the bits that come up.
Try not to get a paper-cut!
