Paddington Reservoir




Such a cool space on Oxford St. I especially like the floating flower bed.

The park was designed by a Australian architecture firm FJMT.

The Death of Bunny Munro

I'm glad i didnt buy Nick Caves new book yet because he jsut released an audiobook and if youve ever heard him speak you know thats something special. Add to that he has composed the score with Warren Ellis. Heres a clip of him reading the third chapter for a taste:

Moon


Saw a stunning movie last week called Moon, its starring Sam Rockwell and is directed by David Bowies son. (who cares what his name is). The set design is amazing.... I also noticed the "space boots" he has are snowboard boots. Theres something really cool about the poster too.

Plant cell inspired "tofu chair"


"Taipei-based industrial designer Yu-Ying Wu's Breathing Chair resembles a block of aerated tofu. Closer inspection reveals that the triangular voids vary in size, and their placement has been carefully calculated; the large triangles at the top-front-center "give" the most, creating a chair-like shape when compressed by a human body.

Wu's chair, inspired by plant cells, took home a Red Dot Design Award in the home furniture design concept category earlier this year."

i love the idea that this chair shape is integrated and yet hidden from the user until they interact with the chair.
