Wallpaper by Artists

Demekin Pocket Fisheye Camera

Sauna & Steam Shower by LineAqua



"Belize" from LineAqua is a wonderful solution for any bathroom to provide day to day hygiene needs while promoting self wellness. This design is a combination Finnish dry sauna and steam shower all in one tidy cabin. The name "Finnish sauna" refers to a small cabin designed for sweating where toxins are released from the body through perspiration. This model is great since it combines the "wet" with the "dry". There are times where I personally want water therapy and other times a dry therapy. Some features in Belize include: chromatherapy lighting, 4 body sprays, sauna stove, rain shower, and FM Radio. The dry sauna cabin is separated from the shower by a sliding door. There is a folding seat in the shower where you can sit and enjoy a shower or the direct massage jets. Measurements: 71" x 48" x 87". Price: $5,000.

SICKEST JEANS EVER!!!! OriginalFake x NEIGHBORHOOD



The OriginalFake x NEIGHBORHOOD collaboration continues on into April with a new series of graphic tees. Not to be outdone, the collection also yields two denim styles in a clean raw wash. The imagery on the denim is visible via the back pockets while the tees continue on a mostly NEIGHBORHOOD-esque style.

Daft Punk x Medicom 400% Bearbrick Set



The much anticipated new Daft Punk x Medicom 400% Bearbrick Set has been released. This is the first time that Medicom releases a 400% double pack, which we have previously only seen on the 100% size. The set is now available at colette.

Arch Daily Snefjord Road stop / Pushak



The site of the road stop is a paradox. Oftentimes, the hardest winds blow off the sea, and yet the most attractive view is toward the fjord. The obvious response in order to shield tourists from the wind would be to construct a view-blocking wall. Instead three “bench-boxes” prefabricated at a local wharf dot the area, and their differing orientations allow visitors to choose where to sit according to wind and sun conditions.

TEM, 2004




Each of the three apartments in the complex designed by Makoto Yokomizo Architects in 2004 has a typical floor plan of a Bikers’ Apartment. What makes it unique is that most light inside passes through the translucent roof of the building.

SHITS INSANE!!!! Tare Lugnt Issue Three



Tattoo magazines usually feature a lot of tattoos - as you’d expect. But where do you go from there? Tare Lugnt, a swedish magazine, have gone beyond the call of duty by making their third issue a tattoo. It’s a little extreme, to say the least, but it is an eye catching way of making a magazine. No word yet on what they’ll do for issue four.

Boxed Water: It's What's for Drinking



Boxed milk and juices are a supermarket staple, but one company is now selling boxed water.

Boxed Water Is Better sells water in cartons, ditching the plastic bottles while reducing the overall carbon footprint of packing and distribution by 80%.

20% of the company's profits are passed along to reforestation (10%) and water relief (10%) while you sip on the sweet hydrogen/oxygen nectar of Minnesota and a few parts per billion of paper pulp.

But while Boxed Water is undoubtedly more sustainable than bottled water, I can't help but think the product's absurdity does less to open a new market than close an old one. In other words, Boxed Water is a ridiculous solution to an even more ridiculous problem—that we'd rather buy packaged water than drink it for nearly free out of the tap.

Self-sufficient city planned near Seoul



Rotterdam based architects, MVDRV won the Gwanggyo Power Center Competition with their design of a new self-sufficient city just south of Seoul, South Korea. The plan consists of a series of overgrown hill shaped buildings and will house offices, shops, residences, and educational facilities. These buildings will be interconnected on the lower floors. Concentrating work-play in a common area means reduction in commutes and dependency on auto and transportation systems.

The cluster of building rises up in concentric rings, and each floor is lined with plantations that improve ventilation while reducing energy and water consumption. The roofs and terraces of the buildings will be lined with box hedges. An interal irrigation system stores extra water and sustains these green structures. The site is surrounded by a lake and forrests. The estimated completion of this project is slated for 2011.

Arch Daily Manresa City Hall / Add Bailo Rull



We have understood Manresa as the city that one day settled itself on a hill bordering the river Cardener, in front of Montserrat mountains. The City Hall building stands near the edge of the platform that, occupied by the historic quarter, juts out towards the river and faces Montserrat.

The main facade overlooks the central city plaza, and is the terminus of the main routes that cut through the historic centre. The back facade occupies the limit we are talking about, where the topography drops rapidly down towards the river.

Calvin Klein Collection Spring/Summer 2009 Sneakers



The other day we showed you the baseball jacket from the much hyped Calvin Klein Collection Spring/Summer 2009 line. Here we take a look now at the sneakers. The sneakers come in both leather, perforated leather and patent leather and all feature a neoprene sock liner and velcro closure. From minimalist beige and white to more extreme fluorescent colorways, the choice is wide. Via Men.Style.

Son Paints 60-Foot Phallus On Parent's Roof



Rory McInnes, 18, inspired by a television program he watched about Google Earth, climbed onto his parent's roof and painted a 60-foot phallus with a bucket of white paint. It took his parents over a year to discover the monster shlong, and now Rory "will have to scrub it off when he gets back from traveling". Haha, scrub it off. But seriously, who the hell paints a giant member ON THEIR OWN HOUSE? Sorry, but I'm chalking this one up as a penis painting fail, Rory. Better luck next dong.

Cyan Nylon Messenger by Incase



I am really liking the color of the Cyan Nylon Messenger by Incase. They do it right over there. The cam buckle on the strap and the zippered pocket on the flap are both smart touches. And the tapered/seated buckles are nicely done too.

New Girl Skateboard Designs, FUCKING DOPE!!!!!




New boards from Girl Skateboards in Wallride #17. The old school decks caught me off guard, I thought they were real for a second. Worthy of hanging on a wall somewhere, maybe your house?

cheez Spring/Summer 2009 Collection



The cheez Spring/Summer 2009 Collection has been released. The rather new Japanese brand has become known for fun and colorful collections. Their new line consists of t-shirts, hoodies, windrunner jackets and mesh caps. We especially like the windrunners and the mesh caps this season, which feature bold materials and color combinations.

The cheez Spring/Summer 2009 Collection is now available at Stless.

A Toilet on Skis



Wallpaper has been used for centuries to decorate rooms with graphic imagery, but in some Japanese ski resorts this idea has been taken to a whole new level. In order to promote Georgia Max Coffee, Tokyo advertising agency, Tugboat, has transformed toilet stalls into a virtual ski jumps. When someone takes a seat on the toilet they find themselves immersed inside the photomontage with wraps across the floor. Yet it isn't until you reach for the toilet paper that you find the advertising message, which declares that Georgia Max Coffee is a "super zinging taste-explosion". Whether this is an effective campaign remains to be seen. The invasion of product marketing into every space of our lives is troubling, but it's hard to deny intriguing quality of this work.

Air Yeezy spotted at SXSW Music Festival

Kanye showed me both colorways last week
the black yeezys are one of the sickest pair of hi top sneaks
i have probably ever seen, GLOW IN THE DARK SOLES!!! DOPE!!!!!!



With all of the hoopla still surrounding Nike’s Air Yeezy, we catch a glimpse of various Hip-Hoppers rocking the highly scouted yet unreleased Kanye West-endorsed hi tops. Included performers caught sporting the kicks included Bun B, GLC with Samples, and Mr. West himself.

Deck House / Assadi + Pulido



The project starts having in mind a deck of wood. Over this platform would be incirporated the different areas of the house. Nevertheless, the resources were exclusively aimed at this terrace, and the interior space was enough only for a large living area incirporated to this terrace. It was decided, therefore, to assign almost all these resources to resolve the housing based on two main components: a deck and a living area, being this later one capable of absorbing the kitchen, the dinning room, and even the master bedroom. Additionally, considering that in a summer holiday house dormitories are only used to sleep, it was decided to eliminate this concept, changing it for “a group sleeping area at which the space aimed at dormitories almost fully disappears from the project.

Merci Beaucoup 2009 Fall/Winter Collection



With the economic climate having a strong effect on the outlook of fashion design, Japanese brand Merci Beaucoup seems to have either completely missed out on the memo or chosen to continue on a very much one-of-a-kind aesthetic with their 2009-2010 fall/winter collection. Featuring both male and female outfits, the brand’s use of a butterfly theme is quite literal as we see some wild looks and outfits. However to the brand’s credit, there are some more subtle pieces in the collection as well as some interesting fur-based footwear offerings.

Super Nintoaster: Crispiest SNES Mod



The Super Nintoaster, like its predecessor, is a fully-functioning SNES case that does actually start games when the toast lever is pushed.

It doesn't appear to toast bread anymore, but that's probably for the best.

Louis Vuitton x Kanye West “Boat” Sneakers



With the release of the Kanye West For Louis Vuitton footweaar collection coming closer we can give you a look today at the boat sneakers. Coming with a similar base silhouette as the Don sneaker out of the collection, the main difference is on the front, where the sneaker has a clear boat shoe silhouette and tassles. The sneaker seems to be coming in all white and in grey/pink, the same colorway that we have already seen on a high top sneaker out of the collection. Images via BKRW.

Just like the rest of the collection, these should be hitting stores some time in June. More detailed images of the Louis Vuitton x Kanye West “Boat” Sneakers follow after the jump.

Levi’s x Kaws “Navy Teeth” Denim



As it turns out the recent collaboration of Kaws and Levi’s also includes a denim model with a navy teeth design and not only the red/white design that we showcased earlier. The “Navy Teeth” Chompers design by Kaws is much more subtle, as the design is only embroidered and not printed onto the denim.

The Levi’s x Kaws “Navy Teeth” Denim is now available at the Levi’s EShop.

Custom Louis Vuitton Luggage For Infiniti Essence



At the Geneva Auto Show, Infiniti presented their new Essence sportscar. The beautiful car does not only impress with its design and its 600 HP hybrid engine, but also with the details. As you can imagine the tunk is pretty small and therefore Infiniti commissioned Louis Vuitton to create a custom luggage collectio, that fits perfectly into the trunk. The outcome is just perfect.

OH SHIT!!!! Giant Tetris Online!!!!!!



Looking for a great way to piss away your work day? How about starting a giant game of Tetris? Even after a full eight hours of gameplay you'll probably be nowhere! The screencap here is of me playing for five minutes, and then letting it drop shapes on its own for another 2 hours and 42 minutes (larger version HERE). You can leave your desk, go take a nap in your car, and have barely missed a thing. WHEE! I double-dog-dare somebody to fill the whole thing except for a line on one of the sides. You would be my hero! And also, a loser. Mostly a loser. DO IT!

Yellow Treehouse Restaurant / Pacific Environments



It’s not often that a commission to design a treehouse is offered, so when Colenso BBDO - on behalf of Yellow Pages briefed Pacific Environments Architects for a ‘reality’ TV advert for an off-the-wall functioning restaurant, Pacific Environments jumped at the opportunity. Working alongside Tracey Collins and her team , the idea was to source all products and services through Yellow Pages listings (the book, online and mobile). It has paid us to be in Yellow - that’s how we were chosen and we are getting a great profile as a result.

LIP Clockworks



The retro-futuro watches from Lip look like they were designed in the 1950's for the flying car age of the 2000's. The brand was recently relaunched, and the Mythic (left) and Fridge (right) are two watches in the new line. They are available at Watchisimo.

Hole 19 – Golfclub St. Oswald / x Architekten



The golf course as an integrated design landscape and topography nestles up to the soft downs of the Mühlviertel. The club house merges with the landscape and integrates consistently into the natural surroundings, almost being completely absorbed by it. Its outer and inner rooms are designed as a seamless transition into the golf course and become one with the surrounding sports grounds. The inner court offers possibilities for multi-functional activities in a sheltered atmosphere - as a garden for visitors as well as a location for events and award ceremonies. Towards the south west the court opens up into a covered terrace as far as the driving range. On the northern side, it serves as a reception area for players returning from the 18th Hole. The inner court presents itself as the “19th Hole” and the club house as the “19thGreen” of the golf course and they resemble the Start as well as the Finish in the movement of club members and visitors.

Im gonna get these! Nike Killshot Vintage



Originally conceived almost thirty years ago, the original Nike Killshot was marketed as a racquetball and squash type court shoe. A shoe with a low-profile stance, the Killshot seen here features a combination suede and mesh-upper as its revival in 2009 also includes a vintage distressed treatment. Two colorways in clean, simple colors are seen here which will release sometime in the second half of April.
