The Ikepod Hourglass by Marc Newson




Each hourglass is hand blown from one single piece of borosilicate glass in Basel, of all places. Filling each piece is not sand, but rather a incredible amount of tiny nanoballs each coated in different material. To be more specific, each hourglass contains 8 million nanoballs. It's a beautiful piece for your desk. But at $28,500!!! I'm not wetting my pants.

Childrens by Steve McCurry







His career was launched when, dis­guised in native garb, he crossed the Pak­istan bor­der into rebel-​​controlled Afghanistan just before the Russ­ian inva­sion. When he emerged, he had rolls of film sewn into his clothes of images that would be pub­lished around the world as among the first to show the con­flict there. His cov­er­age won the Robert Capa Gold Medal for Best Pho­to­graphic Report­ing from Abroad, an award ded­i­cated to pho­tog­ra­phers exhibit­ing excep­tional courage and enter­prise. He is the recip­i­ent of numer­ous awards, includ­ing Mag­a­zine Pho­tog­ra­pher of the Year, awarded by the National Press Pho­tog­ra­phers’ Asso­ci­a­tion. That was the same year in which he won an unprece­dented four first prizes in the World Press Photo Con­test. He has won the Olivier Reb­bot Memo­r­ial Award twice.

Fantastic Man Issue 13

Beckham takes the cover of issue 13 of Fantastic Man. In fact, they’re calling him the “most famous man in the world.” Could be true. He’s at least one of the world’s best known footballers. In their words: “Perhaps the most famous gentleman in the world, Mr. BECKHAM is freshly coiffed care of ALAIN PICHON, and photographed at a pie and mash shop in his native London by ALASDAIR McLELLAN. Other notable profiles include: the new director of the TATE MODERN, CHRIS DERCON, who discusses the fantastic prospects for the museum’s upcoming HERZOG & DE MEURON extension; owner of THE INDEPENDENT newspaper, the media oligarch Mr. EVGENY LEBEDEV.”

“Final Cut,” is a project in which German curator Tobias Megerle engaged with a group of twelve Mahim woodcarvers to produce a series of one of a kind skateboards using the traditional carving method found in Mumbai, India.
