Photos by Yannis Drakoulidis Real estate developers often trick purchasers by filling model suites with special 7/8 full size furniture to make rooms look bigger. Now Point Supreme Architects are tricking art gallery patrons by building a room at exactly 1/2 full size, and putting it inside the full size room.

Sabine at Mocoloco shows an interesting bookcase system designed by Daniel Gafner of Postfossil . It is essentially made of plywood boxes held together by standard binder clips, which is clever enough. But when looked at in the framework of a more mobile flexible lifestyle, they become more interesting; the bookshelves can actually become a durable box in which you can move the contents. … Read the full story on TreeHugger

Image credit: Florian Schulz For nearly a decade, Florian Schulz has traveled the Arctic, documenting the region’s scenery and wildlife. During this time, he has logged hundreds of hours in the air to compile an extensive collection of Arctic aerial photography—and the results are stunning.

Most hot restaurants follow the same trajectory: Big investment, smash opening with celebrities and hoi-polloi, then the Yogi Berra phase , where “nobody goes there any more, it’s too crowded”, then decline and close.
