The piece was first installed at Yvon Lambert in 2007 and then in a different configuration at an old baroque church in Spain that was converted to a multi-use space called Espacio AV in 2009. Gorgeous.

The city plays as a space a difficult role. On the one hand it does not belong to anyone, on the other hand it belongs to all, but it is merely used by us actively, as it was in former times. It has decreased to the background of our everyday activities. Responsibility for the outdoor space, for most of the residents stops at their garden fence. The project mobile hospitality starts just here.</p> <p><a href="http://chmararosinke.com/mobile-gastfreundschaft" target="_blank">more about the project</a></p>http://www.designstain.com/post/25150315260http://www.designstain.com/post/25150315260Fri, 15 Jun 2012 09:56:00 +0100projectsprojectsocialsocial designrestaurantbarmobile<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m5nhadxwFm1qaq4nao1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p><strong>Sinful Molten Lava Cake Comes With Candle Made Of Chocolate</strong></p> <p>Culinary designer <a href="http://www.stephane-design.com/" target="_blank">Stéphane Bureaux</a> has created ‘Fujisan’, an ingenious molten chocolate lava cake that uses a candle made of chocolate that you can eat. </p> <div><strong>yummy</strong></div> <div></div> <div><a href="http://designtaxi.com/news/352414/Sinful-Molten-Lava-Cake-Comes-With-Candle-Made-Of-Chocolate/" target="_blank">via</a></div>http://www.designstain.com/post/25149903966http://www.designstain.com/post/25149903966Fri, 15 Jun 2012 09:37:25 +0100yummy<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m5nh4yeLoT1qaq4nao1_500.jpg"/><br/> <br/><img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m5nh4yeLoT1qaq4nao2_500.jpg"/><br/> <br/><img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m5nh4yeLoT1qaq4nao3_500.jpg"/><br/> <br/><p><strong>Wanted: Fuego’s Portable Grill Makes It Easy to BBQ Anywhere</strong></p> <p>Luckily, Fuego, the California startup better known for its chic home grills, has introduced a portable, gas-powered model called Element.</p> <p><a href="http://www.fastcodesign.com/1663390/wanted-fuegos-portable-grill-makes-it-easy-to-bbq-anywhere" target="_blank">via</a></p>http://www.designstain.com/post/25149830641http://www.designstain.com/post/25149830641Fri, 15 Jun 2012 09:34:10 +0100bbqsummersunUS<img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m5ngtzgw9p1qaq4nao1_500.jpg"/><br/> <br/><img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m5ngtzgw9p1qaq4nao2_500.jpg"/><br/> <br/><p>Capped Party by <a href="http://ingesidee.de/page.php?pgid=35&lang=en" target="_blank">Hans Hemmert</a></p> <p>Berlin-based artist Hans Hemmert (famous for his work with balloons) threw a party where guests wore shoe-extenders to make them all the same height of 2 meters.</p> <p><a href="http://www.core77.com/blog/object_culture/shoes_that_make_everyone_the_same_height__16220.asp" target="_blank">via</a></p>http://www.designstain.com/post/25149680193http://www.designstain.com/post/25149680193Fri, 15 Jun 2012 09:27:35 +0100Hans Hemmertgermany<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m5ngm2QWWX1qaq4nao1_500.jpg"/><br/> <br/><img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m5ngm2QWWX1qaq4nao2_500.jpg"/><br/> <br/><img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m5ngm2QWWX1qaq4nao4_500.jpg"/><br/> <br/><img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m5ngm2QWWX1qaq4nao3_500.jpg"/><br/> <br/><p><strong>New Moosach Bikes</strong></p> <p>The Dutch are at it again with an awesome new bike brand called <a href="http://moosach-bikes.nl/" target="_blank">Moosach Bikes</a>.

The company set out to make bikes based on vintage, road-style bike frames of the 70s, 80s, and 90s. They refurbish the frames they find and turn them into the new model with brand new parts, so each bike has history and a story to go with it.</p> <p>Read more at <a href="http://design-milk.com/moosach-bikes/#ixzz1xqeReo5j" target="_blank">Design Milk</a></p>http://www.designstain.com/post/25149573559http://www.designstain.com/post/25149573559Fri, 15 Jun 2012 09:22:49 +0100bicyclegermanyMoosach Bikes<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m5ngenUgPq1qaq4nao1_500.jpg"/><br/> <br/><img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m5ngenUgPq1qaq4nao2_500.jpg"/><br/> <br/><img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m5ngenUgPq1qaq4nao3_500.jpg"/><br/> <br/><img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m5ngenUgPq1qaq4nao4_500.jpg"/><br/> <br/><p>Pillows Collection by <a href="http://www.areaware.com/prodshow.asp?CatID=159" target="_blank">AREAWARE</a></p> <p><a href="http://dog-milk.com/new-animal-pillows-from-areaware/" target="_blank">via</a></p>http://www.designstain.com/post/25149466980http://www.designstain.com/post/25149466980Fri, 15 Jun 2012 09:18:23 +0100pillowshomeareaware<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m5mgaxUiZZ1qaq4nao1_500.jpg"/><br/> <br/><img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m5mgaxUiZZ1qaq4nao2_500.jpg"/><br/> <br/><img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m5mgaxUiZZ1qaq4nao3_500.jpg"/><br/> <br/><img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m5mgaxUiZZ1qaq4nao4_500.jpg"/><br/> <br/><p><strong>The Post-itable</strong> by <a href="http://www.soupstudiodesign.com/" target="_blank">SoupStudio Design</a></p> <p>The Post-itable by SoupStudio Design is a table made for designers, or really anyone that could use a giant post-it note handy at all times.</p> <p><a href="http://designyoutrust.com/2012/06/the-post-itable-by-soupstudio-design/?utm_source=feedburner&utm_medium=feed&utm_campaign=Feed%3A+dyt+%28Design+You+Trust%29" target="_blank">via</a></p>http://www.designstain.com/post/25105521442http://www.designstain.com/post/25105521442Thu, 14 Jun 2012 20:18:00 +0100<img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m5lzy5oeje1qaq4nao1_500.jpg"/><br/> <br/><img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m5lzy5oeje1qaq4nao2_500.jpg"/><br/> <br/><img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m5lzy5oeje1qaq4nao3_500.jpg"/><br/> <br/><p><strong>Cathedral Interior Covered in Grass</strong></p> <p><a href="http://www.fubiz.net/2012/06/13/cathedral-interior-covered-in-grass/" target="_blank">via</a></p>http://www.designstain.com/post/25088913976http://www.designstain.com/post/25088913976Thu, 14 Jun 2012 14:25:17 +0100projects<img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m5lzvgUloG1qaq4nao1_500.jpg"/><br/> <br/><img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m5lzvgUloG1qaq4nao2_500.jpg"/><br/> <br/><img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m5lzvgUloG1qaq4nao3_500.jpg"/><br/> <br/><img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m5lzvgUloG1qaq4nao4_500.jpg"/><br/> <br/><p><strong>Concrete Spice Grinder</strong> by George Coffin</p>http://www.designstain.com/post/25088864204http://www.designstain.com/post/25088864204Thu, 14 Jun 2012 14:23:00 +0100ginderproduct<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m5lpu3tGD71qaq4nao1_500.jpg"/><br/> <br/><img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m5lpu3tGD71qaq4nao2_400.jpg"/><br/> <br/><img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m5lpu3tGD71qaq4nao3_500.jpg"/><br/> <br/><p><strong>Peepoo Bag</strong> by the Architect <a href="http://www.wilhelmson.se/">Anders Wilhelmson</a></p> <p>Today, more than 2.6 billion people lack access to basic sanitation.

Consisting of two complementary parts, the organic and expressive design of the Platu is inspired by the fluidity of olive oil and the purity of the olive tree. The white colour is not only a reference to the purity of this tree, a symbol of ancestral heritage, it is also intended to highlight the different colours and densities of the olive oil. The square base, glazed black, frames and enhances the white form, emphasising the design. The Platu is a 100% portuguese project created by designer <a href="http://www.miguelpintofelix.com/" target="_blank">Miguel Pinto Félix</a>.</p> <p><a href="http://designyoutrust.com/2012/06/platu-an-olive-tree-designed-for-olive-oil/?utm_source=feedburner&utm_medium=feed&utm_campaign=Feed%3A+dyt+%28Design+You+Trust%29" target="_blank">via</a></p>http://www.designstain.com/post/25016457263http://www.designstain.com/post/25016457263Wed, 13 Jun 2012 12:12:00 +0100olive oilplateportugueseportugal<img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m5jyysHUII1qaq4nao1_500.jpg"/><br/> <br/><img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m5jyysHUII1qaq4nao2_500.jpg"/><br/> <br/><img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m5jyysHUII1qaq4nao3_500.jpg"/><br/> <br/><img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m5jyysHUII1qaq4nao4_500.jpg"/><br/> <br/><p><strong>Paper Butterfly Art</strong> by Rebecca J.
