There’s something very appealing about these edible gelatin letters, created by designers Aranxa Esteve and Lucía Rallo from M-Inspira in Spain. You can almost smell the jelly flavours, I just wish there was a film of them showing their wobble. Found via Colossal.

Thanks to Lisa T for spotting this fabulous installation, which was found at Craft Central, just around the corner from our London office. Cloud Leopard by Nahoko Kojima is an intricate hanging paper sculpture, originally shown at last year’s Saatchi Collect exhibition. What’s incredible is that the whole thing was cut by hand, taking about five months to complete. Nahoko Kojima is one of a handful of artists to have won this year’s Jerwood Makers Open prize. For this exhibition she is making a life size, paper cut swimming polar bear. Check out her paper cutting workshops here in London, or more about her work on this video.

This is a lovely campaign for The National Trust, by The Click. Turning on its head the usual stern signage you find in public places, this delivers a playful message with a great tone of voice. In my view it takes the National Trust away from the somewhat stuffy perception associated with it, making seem like a younger person’s brand with a sense of humour. They launched it with the hashtag #NaturesPlayground to encourage people to share their National Trust experiences online.

Comments from Dan P: “I love a little double take and these definitely make you stop and think – it would be great to see how they work in real life, but I assume they’ll be as effective as they look – in encouraging people to stop being so bloody English and get stuck in… Isn’t it great when Design (with a big D of course) does more than just make things look nice, but actually encourages positive behavioural change?” Found via Creative Bloq.

I loved the dream-like warped quality of Bae Sehwa’s wooden furniture – it looks so beautifully made. Each piece is planned digitally, then hand crafted from strips of hardwood, which is steamed for several hours and then bent into shape. Found via Beautiful Decay.
