Post-Soviet Pin Up by Kathrin Longhurst
Raised in East German Kathrin lived in many European countries and finally settled down in Australia. Her works reflect the diverse cultural background and strongly influenced by Communist era, but personally I'd call her canvases the pin-up reflection on a non-existent military post-soviet country. "Women of the Revolution" is her ongoing series of pinup portraits mixed with Russian slang words from "Bitch" to "Pretty". Follow up her latest artworks on kathrinlonghurst.com
Gabor Erdelyi captures Life on a Bench for a Year in Barcelona
Spanish photographer Gabor Erdelyi came up with a simple idea for capturing some of the life in the beautiful city of Barcelona: photograph a seaside bench for a year. In the Barceloneta area of the city, Erdely faithfully took photos from a bird’s-eye view to capture the many ways the locals use the bench.
“This is a small point of the fisherman’s village lively, vibrant life. [It’s] an integral part of everyday life, of love, of life, of birthdays, of loneliness, of joint activities and of games. This is one of the many thousands of similar sites of community building.”

Peugeot “Le Bistro du Lion” Foodtruck
Rare addition to our Automotive Design flow. This time Peugeot Design Lab came with the concept of “Le Bistro du Lion” foodtruck. "The custom van comes with a matching trailer and together they become on location a pop-up restaurant. From a full kitchen, coffee machine down to a DJ booth, the concept thought of pretty much everything. Food-truck specialist Euromag outfitted the truck with all the kitchen equipment and the coffee machine is provided by Rocket. The new restaurant on wheels will take up residence at Milan Design Week 2015 on 14 April, before heading to the French Pavilion at the 2015 World’s Fair, Expo Milano, where the theme will be “Feeding the Planet, Energy for Life.” Peugeot has selected the talented French chef Sven Chartier, of Saturne and Le Clown Bar in Paris, as the first culinary tenant of Le Bistrot du Lion. With food truck concepts becoming bigger globally, we would not be surprised if some car makers actually start catering more targeted concepts to that particular market in the future." says Highsnobiety

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
