Pia Lundqvist is a Swedish glass artist, her artworks are quite strange. She used all sorts of found objects to create these ‘guns’.
No, this isn’t just a plastic bucket, this is the Bucket Vase by Tina Roeder. You better be careful with it, it’s a porcelain bucket!

‘Broken Pillar (for Berlin)’ by Tommy Støckel.
Today is going to be a beautiful day in Berlin, we expect up to 20° Celcius. So sunglasses will be all over town. These ones are designed by Anna ter Haar for Klavers van Engelen, dripping hot.
Anna knows her way around with plastics; her chairs, stools and tables were also on display in Milan last week.

This ‘Leather & Plastic Chair’ is a classic. Front Design added the black leather seat to a standard white plastic chair, the original classic. Available at Vlaemsch().

Wooster Collective found out who’s responsible for those great Plastic Bag Animals: Joshua Allen Harris.
