Strikingly simple in form, the Revolution Collection by Felicia Ferrone is handcrafted in the Czech Republic by master glassblowers, and formed from a pure extrusion of hand-blown borosilicate glass. This material provides a high degree of thermal resistance for a range of hot and cold applications, and is oven, microwave, freezer, and dishwasher safe. When in use, the contents of these pieces appear to float, seeming to defy gravity and visually suspend their contents, be it water, wine, champagne, gelato, or soup.
The aim of this project by Sanjin Halilovic is to make sure the modular system performs as a multifunction unit and when separated, can be used as a shelf, a table, a chair or a couch. The set is made of wooden plaques which are jointed and are additionally fixed with drvofix (special glue for wood). The elements are painted with water-based acrylic matte paint.

A unique bike concept by Juri Zaech in a series called Write a Bike where the bicycle frames are created in form of elegant inscriptions of names of their owners. This looks beautiful but I was wondering where the bicycle chain and pedals would go?
