Wow! This is a airplane wing that was transformed into a workspace. The Deborah Desk ($5000) is a stunningly beautiful aluminum aeroplane wing that is supported by stainless steel legs finished with a glass surface. The Deborah Desk would be a perfect feature piece in any office or reception….hopefully ours.

This is another example of “Amazing Simplicity“. Street artist Joshua Allen Harris creates sculptures , using plastic shopping bags, that inflate and become animated when subway cars pass beneath the sidewalk grates in New York City.

Take a minute to check out these amazing works of art by Alexandra Zaharova and Ilya Plotnikov of Doberman Studio. Harnessing the power of Photoshop, they were able to create flowers and a other designs appear as if they were actually made of living water. Anyone using Photoshop can create water effects, but only a select few can actually recreate animate objects.

Legendary automaker BMW teamed up with design studio ART+COM to expand our understanding of “sculpture”.The end result of this collaboration is an unbelievable kinetic sculpture that was created from numerous small metal spheres floating in the air and grouping into various forms. Exactly 714 metal balls are connected with a thin steel wires that are attached to an individual motor,sending the balls in motion. The wires are practically invisible, giving the illusion of flotation. Initially, the balls move randomly, and then begin to group into forms in which can be guessed shapes of BMW cars of various years: BMW 327, BMW 1500, BMW Z4 coupe concept and Mille Miglia. Watch the video after the jump for a truly unforgettable spectacle.

BMW Group DesignworksUSA, in collaboration with Landscape Forms, has designed Metro40, a stunning collection of site furniture for street-scapes and transit environments. The collection includes a shelter, trash receptacle, bench, bike rack, bollard, lights and poster display. The entire collection is brilliantly designed, but the piece that stands out for me is the bench.

The design is streamlined and simple and makes use of some fine materials. I personally love the sweeping curves and how the legs are one continues piece that form a part of the back and seat. I’m sure my butt would appreciate sitting on one of these.

A miniature resin figurine of a tiger, which is about 0.12cm (0.05 inches) long and 0.1cm (0.04 inches) high, is displayed on a needle in Taipei.

A Taiwanese man has tamed the tiger, shrinking the Chinese zodiac animal into a sculpture smaller than a grain of rice that’s fully visible only through a magnifying glass.

Chen Forng-shean, who has been sculpting as a hobby for some 30 years, carved from resin what he calls the world’s tiniest tiger at 1 millimetre (0.04 inch) high and just over a millimeter long ahead of the Chinese lunar Year of the Tiger.

But Chen said the brightly colored beast nearly got the best of him over 10 attempts to create it.

“If the hands shake a little bit, the work would jump away and disappear,” said Chen, 54, a minting plate designer by trade. “For this tiger, the toughest part is because it is three-dimensional. It can be looked at from any angle and still seem very lively.

“Coloring is also very hard, with the patterns on his back and the red color on his tongue,” he said.

The single animal, created after three months of intensive labor, was finished in November and Chen said it was worth T$3 million ($94,200), although it is not for sale.

Tigers, which rotate with 11 other animals on the Chinese lunar year zodiac, bring variable luck, being dependable and unpredictable at the same time. Chen said he has already felt the suspense the new year is likely to bring.

“My job is dealing with very fine things, so I learned to breathe and hold my breath,” he said. “Now when I take a breath, I can hold it for 60 seconds, and then I can engrave every stroke with the rhythm of my pulse.”

Chen has used rice, sand, thread, dental floss and ant heads and fly wings to do other miniature sculptures, which are a hallmark of high-end ancient Chinese art.

He expects to carve for five more years, producing even smaller sculptures and including scenes that encase mountains, waterfalls, and people.
