Matthias Borowski’s sweet furniture
This selection of oversized sweets are furniture designs by Design Academy Eindhoven graduate Matthias Borowski, a.k.a. one half of the Kollectiv Plus Zwei studio. To build these giant confections he experimented with a range of plastics and resins to achieve the right textures and colours, and chose plastics to tap into the idea of sweets often being made from artificial ingredients.

2D or not 2D
Thanks to Jade Lee for sharing this collaboration between photographer Alexander Khokhlov, make-up artist Valeriya Kutsan, and retoucher Veronica Ershova. Inspired by two dimensional posters, the aim of the project was to turn a 3D surface – the models’ faces – into 2D images inspired by different artists’ work and design styles. Found on Behance.
Famous Art Museums in Gingerbread
A far cry from the traditional versions we see at Christmas, these creations by food stylist Caitlin Levin and photographer Henry Hargreaves take gingerbread houses to a whole new level. These edible versions of famous art museums are part of Art Basel Miami, an exhibition which takes place this week in Miami Beach, Florida. It must have been painstaking to put these together. In a way I wanted to see the colour photography versions so you could almost smell the gingery biscuit goodness, but I guess they look more realistic in black and white. Found via Core77.
Tatsputin’s coloured-in kids’ drawings
A user just known as ‘Tatsputin’ has shared some of his kids’ drawings on Reddit, but with a twist. They draw the simple line version, he takes them away while he works away from home, colours them in and brings them back injected with a new life. It reminded us of the various artists who have made 3D versions of their kids’ drawings, such as Child’s Own. Thanks to Jade L for finding this one.
Richard Silver’s panoramic photographs
Richard Silver‘s impressive vertical panoramic shots of churches in New York was mentioned on Friday Favourites last year, and he has now expanded his project to include cathedrals around the world. They show a fantastic perspective of the range of colours, architecture and grandeur of these kinds of buildings. Here are a couple of examples, but there are more on this interview on My Modern Met, which explains how he works.
