<http://www.equality.ws/view.php?img=49360_loscarp1.jpg.html> <http://www.equality.ws/view.php?img=49361_loscarp2.jpg.jpg.html> Marco Castillo and Dago Rodriguez, better known as Los Carpinteros ("The Carpenters") are two Cuban artists who designed furniture masquerading as fantastic works of art. Frontline/World has a few examples of their work, including the Estuche (a jewelry case made to look like a hand grenade) and Mano Creadora or Creative Hand (a chest of drawers made to look like an open palm): Link<http://www.pbs.org/frontlineworld/stories/cuba703/>- via k-fresh designs <http://kfreshdesigns.blogspot.com/2008/02/los-carpinteros.html> Straight Up Chess <http://www.neatorama.com/2008/11/26/straight-up-chess/> <http://www.equality.ws/view.php?img=49362_straightupchess.jpg.html> http://www.equality.ws/view.php?img=49362_straightupchess.jpg.html Steve of Straight Up Chess makes chess boards that are so good that you’d want to hang ‘em up in a picture frame. The wall-mounted chess boards are made from gorgeous cherry, walnut, and maple hardwoods and better yet: they’re playable! You don’t need a table to play chess anymore: *These boards are designed for a casual game of chess. You make your move and mark it as ‘Last Move’. Later your opponent passes by, makes their move, marks it as ‘Last Move’ and the game continues. * The Global Warming Swimming Pool: Swimming Above a Submerged City<http://www.neatorama.com/2008/11/25/the-global-warming-swimming-pool-swimming-above-a-submerged-city/> <http://www.equality.ws/view.php?img=49359_globalwarmingswimmingpool.jpg.html> <http://www.equality.ws/view.php?img=49358_globalwarmingpool.jpg.html> http://www.equality.ws/view.php?img=49359_globalwarmingswimmingpool.jpg.html http://www.equality.ws/view.php?img=49358_globalwarmingpool.jpg.html No, New York is not underwater (yet, anyhow) - that’s a clever ad for HSBC by Ogilvy & Mather Mumbai ad agency in India. The bank wanted to raise awareness of the dangers of global warming, so the clever ad guys glued an aerial photo of a city’s skyscrapers to the base of a swimming pool … the effect of a submerged cityscape is fantastic! Dinnerware Set Forms a Map of Europe<http://www.neatorama.com/2008/11/16/dinnerware-set-forms-a-map-of-europe/> <http://www.equality.ws/view.php?img=49356_1467.jpg.html> http://www.equality.ws/view.php?img=49356_1467.jpg.html This eight-plate set displays most of Europe with a set of interlocking ceramic dinner plates. A Russia plate is, unfortunately, not yet available, as it keeps on breaking up while still in the factory. The Infinity Bookcase<http://www.neatorama.com/2008/11/15/the-infinity-bookcase/> <http://www.equality.ws/view.php?img=49357_bookcasejobkoelewijn.jpg.html> http://www.equality.ws/view.php?img=49357_bookcasejobkoelewijn.jpg.html Dutch artist Job Koelewijn sure knows how to make an awesome bookcase. Behold his lemniscate (look it up <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lemniscate>) bookshelf that represents the infinite power of books and learnin’ - via Book Patrol<http://www.bookpatrol.net/2007/12/fill-er-up-at-job-koelewijns-sanctuary.html> to subscribe: [email protected] [email protected] [email protected] --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Gugukluhayat" group.
