Our interior editor Anna promised us to make a little coverage of London Design Festival. Meanwhile we found an interesting installation of Dan Tobin Smith. Entitled 'The First Law of Kipple' in reference to Phillip K Dick's 1968 novel 'Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep'—that later went on to inspire Blade Runner—the installation features thousands upon thousands of objects swamping the studio on every flat surface, arranged (with great appeal to the OCD-inclined) in a stunning spectrum of colours. Much like the fictional post-apocalyptic world that is haunted by plastic 'kipple,' the objects swarm all throughout the exhibition space—following viewers up stairs and into the toilet cubicle.

Barcelona-based studio Bel & Bel wanted to merge two of their favorite things, Vespa scooters and Segways. Thus, they created the Vespa Segway. Making the popular self-balancing personal vehicle look like a Vespa, it definitely captures the hearts of Vespa lovers who want to take it just a little slower.
Kit King is a self-taught artist born and raised in a small town in Ontario, Canada. Kit's work tends to fall on the macabre side. With a focus on detail and rich value and colour palette. Her works have a darker edge to them while still maintaining a subtle beauty. "I was raised with a non fear of death and the unknown. With unrestrained curiosity and a nurtured creativity. I think that's reflected in my art." She works full time as an artist now.
Highsnobiety Magazine visited menswear label studio I LOVE UGLY in terms of their Highsnobiety Visits. We are pretty jealous of them having the experience to meet people of the label and take awesome photos of their space. "Based in Mount Eden, New Zealand, the primarily black space has been home to ILU for three and a half years and perfectly reflects the feel and style of the brand – the black walls are also present throughout all their flagship stores. Originally the building was used as a shared creative space, housing several different artists and other creative agencies. To encourage collaboration, the workspace is fairly open in an effort to promote the sharing of ideas. However, the design and marketing departments are segregated from the rest of the business, and every month or two they switch everything around to promote fresh thinking."

“Glitched” is a series of 3D printed dioramas in smoked glass cubes by artist Mathieu Schmitt. The artist allows for the 3D model data to become corrupt in such a way that objects are printed slightly deformed. The late-night settings and the misshapen objects create quite an eerie atmosphere.
LA-based photographer Joseph Alexander creates impressive images with a strong emphasis on photo manipulation and retouching. Joseph explores androgyny and intersexual themes - not only gender but also something more of an inter-species. He again uses negative space, simple composition and lots of colour. via

Satoshi Araki's obsessive attention to detail makes his work simply stunning. If it wasn't for the reference of the finger that appears in some of the pictures, it would be very hard to distinguish these miniature dioramas from real pictures of garbage dumps, bombed cities, or abandoned neighbourhoods.

Cologne-based visual artist Dmitry Zakharov released a pretty awesome animation "Inside Me".
"This project is based on a 3D-scan technique, which allows me to reproduce an image of my own body as a 3D object in a software. It is possible to view this object not just from outside, but also from the inside as a negative as well, which creates abstract shapes.
The coloration was generated with the help of colour data I took from a real picture. The film reflects the invisible inner world of an individual, which owns a small universe in itself, created by experiences and feelings - as well in the digital world as in real life. We try to express ourselves and approach our world another being, but still, nobody can see in our souls entirely.
For me, the process of scanning is a very important part of this work itself. The idea of digitising a body and hence the creation and deformation of its computer generated self, reflects the digital world we live in today. We create an alternative world, in which everybody can be what they want to be. In some way, it resembles to an act of creation. We never stop building more worlds for ourselves, even though there are already various ones encircling us, that we don't even understand yet.
Each universe encloses another, which creates a new one, and the world next to us still seems far away. And so we look into infinity again, which inevitably surrounds us."

Unsuspecting trekkers in the Hollywood Hills encounter a huge, three dimensional letter ‘H’ along their path. A few steps later, they discover a viewfinder striped like a rockslide warning sign, through its lens it appears the 'H' is missing from the Hollywood sign. Continuing up the trail, more missing letters and viewfinders are discovered until finally there is nothing left of the sign at all…The project "Falling Icons" has been done by Ordinary Architecture
