Twister is a new restaurant concept proposed for a space in Kiev, the capital of Ukraine. The design team, Sergey Makhno and Vasily Butenko also of Kiev, work on residential and commercial interiors and architecture but we are particularly fascinated by their furniture and their sculptural approach to interiors.

Grass Flip Flops
Krispy Kreme has come out with grass flip flops. You can now feel the summer lawn tickle your toes as you sit all day at your job wishing you were outside. It supposedly lasts up to 4 months.

Cape Shank House

The amazing views really take advantage of the expansive surroundings. It seems like the main level is an elongated balcony and rests on the elements below.
Skim Milk House in Abiko by fuse-atelier
Fuse-atelier new project House in Abiko located in Abiko, Japan. The 80 square-meter residence is a concrete building, requested made by the clients themselves. The building sits on a soft foundation that required the use of stakes to support the concrete structure.
There is a large, square opening on the upper floor, which houses the living and dining rooms. The angles and composition of the architecture seemingly creates both a disconnect and continuation within the space.

The interior is even more crazy, I personaly think it looks and feels very cold, not some where I would like to live.
To me it looks more like an open space gallery where you would hold exhibitions

Spot on!
Spot on! The artist who lets children cover her white room with colourful stickers.
This is what happens when children are given thousands of coloured stickers and a totally white room all to themselves plus a free reign to express themselves.
She began to see the world through a screen of tiny dots when she was a small child. For her they covered everything she saw the walls, ceilings and even her own body. She began creating paintings using dots in watercolour, oils and pastels when she was just ten years old.
This is what happens when children are given thousands of coloured stickers and a totally white room all to themselves plus a free reign to express themselves.
Before the kids descended on this all white lounge the living room looked like a minimalist's dream pad. Afterwards barely a spec of white remained.
But this is no normal living room, this is the latest work of daring 82-year-old Japanese artist Yayoi Kusama. And the finished product is just how she likes it.
In love with dots: Japanese artist Yayoi Kusama
