TetraBox Light by Ed Chew Liquid to Light Designer Ed Chew takes a green step in the right direction with the TetraBox lamp, a light object made from discarded drink packets that would have otherwise ended up in landfills already packed to the brim. The design is achieved by unfolding the packets and refolding them into hexagonal and pentagonal sections that are then pieced together to form a geodesic sphere or any other desired shape. Here, the Epcot-like ball makes an attractive overhead light and casts an impressive web of shadows and shapes on the surrounding space.

Artist Duo Creates Surreal Cubist Tattoos Based On Clients’ Stories Cubism’s heyday was in the early 20th century, but there are at least two people trying to revive it today – with other people’s skin for a canvas. Jade Tomlinson and Kev James, the artistic duo behind Expanded Eye, create beautiful cubist tattoos that give this once-revolutionary art movement a new modern following. They have a beautiful explanation of their creative process on their website; “Each and every unique tattoo we create is our visual interpretation of concepts and stories provided by the client which hold significant meaning to the individual. We encompass as much personal detail as possible whilst allowing each design to evolve organically into a contemporary piece of art, which we then transfer from paper to skin.” Their style is especially appropriate given how much modern tattoo enthusiasts like line and geometric tattoos.
