Camping season may be officially over, but perhaps this awesome expandable decagon tent could tempt urbanites to venture into the wild during the rainy season. These cool adaptable tents can be arranged into endless honeycomb-shaped combinations to make the resulting structure as roomy as you want it. Designed by Japanese outdoor company Logos, the tents are the recent winners of Japan’s GOOD Design Award. The innovative modular tents also look really cool and cozy when they’re lit up from the inside.

Anyone who has ever picked up a dandelion knows how hard it is to keep the fluffy pieces from flying away, which is what makes Regine Raseier's breathtaking art exhibit so impressive. The artist gently plucked 2,000 dandelions from a nearby meadow and then sprayed a small amount of adhesive on each one to keep them intact. The dandelions were then carefully loaded en masse onto a special crate and transported to a small white room in the ArToll gallery in Germany.
It’s hard to believe, but Raseier picked 2,000 dandelions for this ethereal art exhibit, which was shown at the ArToll Summer Lab 2011. Once they were transported to the lab, each one was individually plugged into a white board, which was subsequently hung at the top of the ceiling. The artist has transformed something that is completely transient in nature into a semi-permanent work of art. In so doing, she has created a sort of timeless indoor meadow full of these wispy plants that seem to descend straight from the heavens.

Los Angeles' new Tsujita Restaurant features a fantastic ceiling made from 25,000 chopsticks carefully arranged to look like a pixellated sky. Designed by Japanese Architect Takeshi Sano, the Cumulus clouds’ formations were inspired by views of the sky from the Izumo Shrine - the biggest shrine in Shimane prefecture, Japan.
Architect Takeshi Sano sought to create a beautiful and mysterious atmosphere influenced by traditional Japanese design. To do this he integrated an incredible ceiling art piece with the restaurant’s interior. By calculating the focal length between the eye line and the wooden sticks and creating different distances between them, the architect was able to design a mysterious cloud-like illusion above the clientele’s heads.

Wim Delvoye has spent much of his illustrious art career transforming unused objects into incredible works of art. In his series, “Pneu” (French for tire) the artist carves intricate patterns into disused tires of different widths and textures. The resulting pieces come alive with floral and organic motifs which are cut into each tire’s surface.
