These are definitely designer axes, it’s actually the spring 2009 collection of Best Made Company and they even have names. These ones are called “Our Famous Red”, “Fawn’s Feather” and “Flashman”.
You’re also thinking about Patrick Bateman … right?

These 2 photos were made by Bernard Voïta and you should have a very good look at them. It’s all about the perspective, they actually remind me of Felice Varini. It’s basically the same principle but with physical objects. If Bernard Voïta would have made them one step to the left or right, they would look totally different.
You can see more of his work in his book White Garden.
(It’s almost impossible to find any info on him.)

“Everything You Want, Right Now!” is the title of the current solo show of Steve Lambert at the Charlie James Gallery in Los Angeles. The lights on these signs are of course animated, you can see them in action in the video below.

“Syn Chron” is an installation designed by Carsten Nikolai back in 2004. He wanted to create an integral sculpture of light, sound and architecture. The crystal-shaped object has a translucent skin on which lasers beam animations insync to the sounds. You can also go inside the object to get the whole light, sound and space experience. Indeed it’s that big.
Gestalten.TV has a video where Carsten Nikolai talks about his work, more precisely about grids and his book Grid Index. You can watch it here.

This Cloud Chair designed by Richard Hutten is made of polished aluminium and produced by Ormond Contemporary Editions.
