I love advertising.

What to do with 250 000 one eurocent coins?

Stefan Sagmeister sure knows.











It lasted for 40 hours before the Police cleaned the whole thing.

That's the real thing about street art, I guess: How it comes and goes so fast.

In the morning somebody showed up with a couple of plastic bags and started putting the coins into his bags. Apparently one of the neighbours saw this and thought this person is “stealing the artwork”, and called the police.
They showed up, talked to the guy with the bags, who had no problem with leaving everything right there. Somehow the police must have thought that is not enough to protect the artwork, and after trying to reach the owner of it, they decided to get into action themselves. They called a city cleaning company and cleaned up the whole square with brooms, and brought all the coins to a “safe” room at the police department.

I should try doing this, one of these days.

Matryoshka cell phones?

From the Motorola DynaTAC 8000X to the Apple iPhone.
An idea by Kyle Bean.

Aha, seriously, can you imagine walking around with any of the first six mobile phones? Now, that would be retro.

How lovely.

Animal ears are in, with bunny ears leading the way.

And, just in case you're wondering, yes, people are supposed to wear them on the streets:

Lisa Whatmough's Squint

The Chairleaders
Vintage Japanese silk, retro prints, sequined satin... Upholstery has never been so funky. Lucy Siegle meets two designers who have got it covered.

- The Observer, 26 March 2006


















Squint opened in East London at the beginning of 2005, it was started by Lisa Whatmough a former Sculptor and Painter. Her initial desire was to showcase the antique textiles she had been collecting and found that a fusion of period furniture and fabrics made for unexpected one off pieces.

Personally, it somehow reminds me of Alice in Wonderland.

I like it.
