This table could not be more impractical but it’s stunning. The oak surface has been cut with graphic patterns that were painted bright red. It comes in orange and smoked black too, but the red is by far the best. German based design collective Sleeping Dogs also created a bed with the same pattern but that is, in my humble opinion, horrendous.

To promote the premiere of the Smurf movie all buildings in the village of Juzcar, Andalucia, have been painted blue!
The Andalucian town of Juzcar painted blue for the Smurf movie
It took 4,200 litres of paint to cover this real life Smurf Village and 12 unemployed locals donned brushes to help out. The stunt needed special approval from the Andalusian government and from the local bishop, but all parties involved including the 250 inhabitants love it. They are even talking about keeping it this way after the premiere as it attracts quite a bit of buzz and tourists.
Hitting theatres in Europe in August, The Smurf movie sees the tiny blue Smurfs venturing into New York’s central park after they were chased from their village. The Smurfs were first broadcast on TV in 1981, nearly 30 years after Belgian cartoonist Pierre Culliford’s had begun drawing them in comic strips in 1958.

This clock runs on mud or soil! Dutch designer Marieke Staps figured out a way to make this little time device work by plugging it into the plant pot it comes with.
Biological Clock
The metabolism of biological life together with the chemical reaction of copper and zinc produce enough electricity to keep a digital clock working. The plants are purely for decoration and a reminder that the technique needs water now and then to work. € 37,50
