Like Idea | Make your own Plant + Herb Screen

This could be quite easy to make/build if you have a screen frame

( or make it yourself with timber). Use plastic bottles and fill it with small plants

or even herbs.

Like Design | Playful Products at Milan Design Fair 2012

As the relevance of design is becoming hotly debated, young designers are approaching their work with a sense of mischief. Above : Kirstin Overbeck used the colourful world of sweets as inspiration for her Candy Collection, seen at Ventura Lambrate. She jokes: "Products with zero calories guaranteed!"  .

Like Idea + Spaces | Around the World - Elle Decoration South Africa

One of my favourite shoots this year by Elle Decoration South Africa, is the Deco-Idea

Article, World Wide Walls. Freckin love the African Doll infront of the China Wall

or the Books on the Argentina Wall. Pretty much cooler than Amelie's Knome. That

thing is just freaky.

Like Idea | Baby Mobiles as Normal Objects - Simple Shapes and Geometries

Baby Mobiles are great looking room additions, as long as its beautiful and simple.

A Few  I like :

This Canadian Flock of Birds Mobile:

These Simple Colourful ones by Australian Mobile Online Shop Puka Puka

 (via)

(via) 

This wonderful Calder-looking ( is it a calder ?) one

 (via) 

Okay this is just because its a little bit one the sweet side, A Hedgehog family, but still simplistic forms

via

And really like the spatial impact of this one - mixes matching colours with bigger forms

and becomes a combination of mobile+chandelier+ room-focus point

Like Object | Lego Man Evolution

(via)

Lego Men have come a long way since the days I 

bough them in the 80ties ( well technically i didnt BUY it, more like received )

(via)

And this definately has to be one of my favourites, although

its actually not a real man, but a hand-made sculpture by Jason Freeny .

( I dont see why LEGO cant make these ...for educational purposes )

See a before/process photo here 

(via design you trust )

Alas, There is still some time (or never) before humans turn into Lego Men.

hehe. But what a cool costume
