"As urban streets are increasingly shared between drivers and cyclists, road safety is more of an issue than ever before. In the UK, more than 19,000 cyclists are involved in accidents every year. Many of these collisions take place in London, where the city’s often old, narrow streets make it difficult to accommodate both four-wheeled and two-wheeled drivers. Swedish car manufacturer Volvo (which has been making some noise in the design world lately) is now addressing the problem with the introduction of its new product Life Paint, which just launched in London."

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.

Duffy London did it again, we mean the table or the epic way they think table should look. Last year it was a glass underwater topography map table, now it is a total way different. The UP Balloon Coffee Table cleverly creates the illusion of a glass tabletop supported by 11 helium balloons. Duffy plans to make only 25 tables and they’re available in red, gold, and silver balloons.
Moved by color and motion, Psyop and McKinney bring consumers along an epic journey of exploration through bold and beautiful shades from Sherwin Williams’ Emerald Paint Collection. The team looked to fine art for inspiration, drawing from Mark Rothko and Georgia O’Keeffe as inspirations. “What’s important about looking toward these artists in our process is that their art brings to the table another era, another way of thinking about and creating great graphic design,” director Lauren Indovina explains. Thinking differently is just what they did.

Ever wonder what every office on the planet needs to have? West London studio Pearlfisher has an answer - "Jump In!" they say. Containing 81,000 balls, the 30-person ball pit is meant to “champion the transformative power of joyful play”, and also support children’s charity organisation Right To Play.
In a global economy that bows to profits, deliverables, and bottom lines, creative play in the workplace is often overlooked and undervalued. Karen Welman, the founding creative partner of Pearlfisher, sees Jump In! as an important way for adults to relax, reenergize, and even work better.
“Jump In! helps to promote the idea that play is also important in the work place,” she asserts “and that actually interspersing play into the working day is good for productivity as well as creativity.”

The Wonders Taste was inspired by a René Magritte’s picture named “The Invisible’s Taste”. Artist Francesca Fattori often take inspiration from the surrealist art. Fattori objectifies ordinary food ingredients by relating them to her personal perceptions of sinuosity; extravagance; limitation and fragility. The pictures are still scenes from a play and removed from their fluid natural sequence, which she likes to call “Metaphysical Landscapes”. via Trendland

The Head Magician of contemporary arts Anish Kapoor recently revealed his new installation during the Kochi-Muziris Biennale in India, his birthplace.
Unexpectedly set into the gallery floor is a large, seemingly endless hole. In it, a vortex of black water perpetually froths and churns. The whirlpool alters the form, or skin, of the water creating a fury of liquid that invades the walls of the gallery. Descension was on view in a corner room at the Aspinwall House in Fort Kochi, a meaningful location because the room opens to views of a peaceful sea that creates a striking contrast to the powerful whirling vortex.
