Architectural Density in Hong Kong

With seven million people, Hong Kong is the 4th most densely populated places in the world. However, plain numbers never tell the full story. In his "Architecture of Density" photo series, German photographer Michael Wolf (previously) explores the jaw-dropping urban landscapes of Hong Kong. He rids his photographs of any context, removing any sky or horizon line from the frame and flattening the space until it becomes a relentless abstraction of urban expansion, with no escape for the viewer’s eye. Infinite and haunting.

Tangled Table ‘Not Now’ By Artist Michael Beitz

Artist Michael Beitz is known for his entangled and wavy tables, benches and other furnitures. The 28-foot-long twisted and tangled table is not quite a conversation starter, at least not if you're sitting at it, as you almost can't see your dialogue partner on the other end. via iGNANT

Surreal Illustration of Mehdi Ghadyanloo

"Merging the style of the early 20th Century surrealists with contemporary street art, Tehran-based artist Mehdi Ghadyanloo’s work is strange and beguiling. He’s currently in London, busying himself with the mammoth task of creating murals all around the capital, including one measuring a whopping 3.4km. As if that wasn’t enough, he’s also showing at the Howard Griffin Gallery in London, in an exhibition entitled Perception." via

Perception is at the Howard Griffin Gallery in Shoreditch, east London until 2 April.

Mechanical Sculptures by Jennifer Townley

In 2008 Jennifer Townley completed her degree in Art Science at the Royal Academy of Fine Art in The Hague. Since then she has been working as an independent artist, creating mechanical sculptures that often move very slowly. Powered by electric motors her machines generate intense repetitive movements and changing patterns that subtly interfere with the spectators mind. Shapes are constantly being distorted and transformed, patterns convert smoothly into new patterns and independent forms seemingly unite. Within kinetic art her work can be distinguished by a smooth and peaceful operation and detailed finish and appearance.

London Flat of Lebanese Interior Designer Danielle Moudaber

Situated in the most posh layer of London, in a Victorian-style building in South Kensington, the flat of Lebanese Interior Designer Danielle Moudaber is something to dig every corner on the pictures below. The house is an excellent mix of styles ranging from Modern to Classic, Baroque to Rococo and Art Deco, Minimal to Greco-Roman, all merged into a soft and dreamy ensemble by the light blue colour which is omnipresent and renders a light “Mediterranean” touch to all spaces. interior-Danielle-Moudaber1
