Los Angeles based photographer and artist Cecelia Webber takes photos of nude human bodies and configures them together to create visually stunning images of flowers. The former neuroscience major stumbled upon the idea after viewing a picture of a body against a black background that highly resembled a flower petal. From there, the magic took off! Taking hours to find the perfect pose then tediously Photoshopping the images together results in these breathtaking images made entirely of the human form. Bodies are petals, limbs and fingers become vibrant stems and stamen. Cecelia continues to revolutionize  her photography and her Flower Series is just the beginning. How brilliant!

Take a look at this visually captivating space reminiscent of an Egyptian sanctuary filled with gold sculptures and designs that speak to stunning architecture. Designed by Novembre, this exquisitely styled restaurant and bar entitled Shu is overflowing with shades of green lit up with soft lighting that reflects throughout the space. Encased in a black fabric, the restaurant’s subtle backdrop only works to further enhance the dramatic scheme. In the middle sits two large scaled gilded arms. Posted front and center these fixtures are used to supporting a ceiling that showcases geometric lighting and glass walls with panes broken by bullets. All in all, the design is nothing short of striking.

Check out these stunning light fixtures constructed by MUT Design created simply through the innovative use of stretched yarn. Ranging from lanterns to ceiling lamps, each piece is layered with strings of color to create a unique visual out of an otherwise rather simplistic form. The effect not only changes the entire silhouette of the piece, it also influences how the lighting is projected in perceived. Creating a bold graphic, the simple lines created by the yarn now display through shadows on the wall in a way that is quite visual interesting.

Since 2004, London based designer Stuart Haygarth has been commissioned to design projects based on found objects. Utilizing objects such as discarded spectacles, party poppers, tail lights, water bottles and other miscellaneous pieces, Haygarth scrupulously connects each object to form wondrous chandeliers. From afar, each light design seems like a colorful cloud burst, but upon closer inspection, each pixel has its own story. I am especially fond of the reflection each chandelier projects onto the surrounding walls!

Check out more of Haygarth’s work on his site.

The famed Minas Trend Preview Show took place near Sao Paolo, Brazil this year with a focus on sustainability. Standing out not only for her sustainable design, but also for the meticulous creativity behind her work was Brazillian designer Mary Arantes of Mary Designs who featured her line of papier-mâché headpieces. The designs ranged from western cowboy to Egyptian princess, and the accessories to accompany the hats made the line sleek and high-fashion editorial worthy. Each headpiece was completely crafted from newspaper delicately shaped and constructed with papier-mâché. I’m blown away with the quality of Mary Design’s work and presentation!

How magical would it be to spend the night sleeping in the trees overlooking a beautiful sunset in the comfort of your own little hanging “tent”? Nature lovers, fall in love with the outdoor experience at Waldseilgarten in Bavaria. After spending a day hiking, you can enjoy the night hung alongside a cliff or a tree, but be aware that this experience may not be well suited for those who toss and turn throughout the night. The tent was designed to allow someone to be suspended in the air with the help of a metal platform frame cocooned in fabric.  At night, you simply snuggle in, and with a little assistance, you can then be lifted and lowered to your sleeping destination.
