Dushi is the title of the solo show of Florentijn Hofman at Galerie West in The Hague (The Netherlands). He supersized stuffed animals so that they complete lose their function and feeling.

This teddy bear called Kuma is not the kind you would give to a child. It is made of paper and was designed by the Japanese architect Ryuji Nakamura. The visual effect is really nice.

That’s a really cool rocking cycle!

This project by Christopher Paul Baker, was created by combining images from every United States patent containing the phrase “toy pistol”.

‘In Vestimentis Ursum‘ is a collection of stuffed animals that sing, dance, light up, or talk back. Matt Kirkland disassembled them to show the robot inside the toys. Some look quite creepy.

The Building Asia Brick By Brick project wants to raise awareness for traditional architecture in a more playful way: Architects from China, Japan and Thailand amongst others were given kits of white LEGO building blocks and told to have just fun. Once again, an excellent article at PingMag.
