strandbeest
May 5th, 2009
Since 1990, artist Theo Jansen has been occupied with creating new forms of life:
“Not pollen or seeds but plastic yellow tubes are used as the basic material of this new nature. I make skeletons that are able to walk on the wind, so they don’t have to eat.
Over time, these skeletons have become increasingly better at surviving the elements such as storms and water and eventually I want to put these animals out in herds on the beaches, so they will live their own lives.”

clouds
May 1st, 2009
“Clouds” are innovative, colorful, soft fabric DIY “tiles” – basically like adult lego, invented by Ronan and Erwan Bouroullec and presented at Milan Design Week 09. Every company should have an all-age “play room” of these.
