The artist Takashi Murakami the same artist whose works adorned Louis Vuitton. He is set to show his works at the Château de Versailles. The show opens 14 September and will continue until 13 December.
In his own words.
“I am The Cheshire Cat who greets Alice in Wonderland with his devilish grin, and chatters on as she wanders around the Château.
With my playful smile, I invite you all to the Wonderland of Versailles”.
Decadence at it’s best. Think they needed more chandeliers?

Marcel Kieser and Christof Spath are young designers based in Darmstadt Germany. This design was submitted at the international competition for young designers organized by imm cologne.
Lovely, only hope you like swiffer.
“Above: WARP by kieser + spath. The WARP table turns lingering at the table into a special experience. Everything that is on and around the table is reflected in a domed mirror, which is mounted beneath the glass tabletop. The interplay between material objects, light and shade opens up new perspectives and changes the way people act at table. The theme of distorted perception is thrown into particular relief by contrast with the simplicity of the table’s design”.
Got to love an art critic’s description.
This concept is simply FIERCE two snaps Z formation.
Designers kristin laass and norman ebelt, created this wonder to fit into small spaces.
This is one of the participants of the burg giebichenstein: hochschule fur kunst und design halle

This was a Senior Degree Project for the Kansas City Art Institute. DJ touch screen interface and gesture interaction concepts of Mr Gerg Kaufman. which took Three months to make.
With a few taps and swipes he has created a board that can mimic turntables. Now all they have to do is show up to the club with a USB stick and they are ready to go.
I hope that when I go to a club featuring this, they better make me want to throw the hair I don’t have…..,yet. Video after the jump
What’s so FAB about a washing machine and dryer from LG you ask? Well this one can communicate with the technician when something is wrong with it.
The customer would have press certain buttons this in turn would send out signals through the phone which can be understood by a trained technician.
Right.
Would be nice when, It could also sense what colour and temperature to wash my clothes.
