We LOVE these customised lamps by Evil Robot Designs. Give them your old toys and they’ll design something with a modern and stylish twist that celebrates your youthful side. They make furniture and wallpaper too, so you could customise your whole house!
Creative and fun!
An outdoor installation in the Clerkenwell area of London. Is it art? Is it just a cool birdhouse? Decide for yourself, but it very much mixes function with a strong design aesthetic, and it adds intrigue in an unexpected place, that’s for certain.
Las Fallas!
Every year in Valencia, Spain, is the festival of Las Fallas, a truly unique event found only in this one city, where parties fill the streets, fireworks fill the skies, and traditional costumes are worn with pride. Then there are the 350 plus magnificent sculptures dotted all around the city!
Neighborhood communities across Valencia create their own Falla, a sculpture made from wood and paper, with the aim of winning a prized title in various categories throughout the festival, based on theme, detail etc. They range in size (from people height to multi-story building height) and theme (from the natural world to the Moulin Rouge) and they are truly spectacular sights to behold, exquisitely detailed and full of clever charicatures and social commentary.
At the end of the festival, all of the Fallas are burned ceremoniously, so in order to see these wonderfully creative, and in some cases genuinely awe inspiring sculptures, book a trip to Valencia for Las Fallas 2013. It’s a festival like no other, and has to be seen to be believed.

A fantastic example of creative appropriation, Choi Jeong-Hwa’s work is a bold and captivating way to recycle and recontextualise the ordinary.
An amazing piece of street art, gothic and comic at the same time, and brilliantly incorporating the fixtures of the building it’s painted on.
The Art Gym short film Vienna has just picked up an award for Best Cinematography at the Cinema out of your Backpack Festival. Vienna was also a finalist at the Crystal Palace International Film Festival and has played in Germany, Cardiff, London and Vienna. Executive Producer Eugene Hughes says “We’ve been really happy with how well the film has done, Ben is a very talented guy. Make sure to look out for his follow up which I’m sure he’ll start chasing me about some time soon.”
