A Shipping-Container-Turned-Architecture Studio

 

The oversized corten steel shipping container spans 40โ€ฒ long, 11.5โ€ฒ wide, and 9.5โ€ฒ high and is built to last making it a smart option, especially if they decide to move and carry it to the new location.

A Sketchy Chair

 

Given the hashtag of #nickschairsketches, Baker uploads unusual conceptual chair designs almost every week. The chairs showcase inventiveness that one rarely sees in furniture design, as concepts take inspiration from quite literally anywhere.

The Hermit Mug

 

Using Adobe Stock's 3D collection Michael has made a microcosm for objects, made of objects. The initial idea was to create a film exploring "creatures expertly camouflaging in mundane environments," the director describes; batteries, mugs, toasters and staplers all making appearances as creatures in his five shorts.

The Cutting Edge Of Cake

 

Dinara Kasko (previously here and here) uses her background as an architect and 3D visualizer to produce geometric cakes that at first glance seem impossible to eat. The mathematically-inspired shapes are digitally constructed with a modeling program, which Kasko then 3D prints in silicone to create a mould.

Watching Burning Man From The Sky
