Korean designer Jae Hyo Lee has found his own way in design, he creates furniture and elements of decor of assembled and sculpted wood logs. At first the logs are attached to the metal frame at different angles, and then all unnecessary parts are sawed off. The technique is not new, but the scale and form of his projects are very unusual. His works, which combine the craftsmanship and love for nature, adorn the exhibition halls, hotels and parks in America, Europe and Southeast Asia. Today we want to demonstrate his beautiful chairs and armchairs made of immaculately assembled wood logs. Enjoy!

This amazing room is located in the Icehotel in Jukkasjärvi, Sweden. Panorama of "Beam Me Up" room is absolutely unreal: ice forest and flying saucers with the beams of light coming out of them and trying to pick you up at faraway unknown galaxies. The walls and the ceiling are made out of snow whilst the beams are made of the ice from the clearest Torne River (Sweden). "In the suite, the visitors should feel like they are a part of a story, that something is going on around them and that they are involved." say PINPIN, the creator of "Beam Me Up". PINPIN Studio is known for their works with design for play and play situations especially for children.

Designers in different ways realize their imagination and creativity. Someone inclines to create an elegant and graceful work of art, someone gives a second life to waste materials and products, but Kyung Woo Han tries to break down the idea of the ordinary things, giving them an unusual view and surroundings. We'll describe a few examples - 4 Rooms by this Surrealist Artist. The first one is a White window. The window with deformed frame can be set right when viewed through a fish-eye lens surveillance camera. The second installation is a Green House with furniture floating in the water inside. Checkered Floor with distorted black-and-white patterns, making an effect strange and surreal three-dimensionality, is also the work of this line. And the last one is Found House where it is difficult to find the doors and windows. Other works of this eccentric artist you can find on his website.

The first piece of this strange at first glance collection was the Octopus Chair. Natural vitality of the animal is striking; every detail is made with careful precision. The Animal Chair collection is a creation of Maximo Riera that took him three years to be completed. The collection is great and includes wide range of species, among which there is a rhinoceros, a lion, a whale, a walrus and even some of insects. The chairs are not exactly portable because of their weight. Carved from compressed foam, inside of which there is a steel frame to stabilize the form, each chair is enveloped in real leather. The collection has a philosophical meaning of the unity of human and animal kingdom which inhabits our planet.

This house in Melbourne (Australia) is called Cloud House due to its form. It is designed by McBride Charles Ryan and consists of three parts. The facade overlooking the street has been left not reconstructed to demonstrate the evolution of the territory. Inside the original structure white color dominates which is perfectly combined with floral hallway carpet. In the center of the space there is a kitchen - clearly standing out red-colored box. Total space of the house triumphantly ends by cloud-shaped walls smoothly flowing into the roof. The main construction of the house looks very friendly and free-for-all. Bystanders would like to enter it very much.

His interest of wildlife has become a very advantageous in such interesting kind of arts as paper sculpture. 3d sculptures of paper are incredibly detailed and really hard work. Made of many pieces of different types of paper it has to be provided with special lighting effects to be more realistic and to emphasize needed elements of texture.

Olafar Eliasson, artist and designer from Denmark, has realized into the life one of the brightest natural phenomenon. Rainbow – the most beautiful and fairy consequences of the rain – we can see now at the ARoS museum in Aarhus (Denmark). This installation called “Your rainbow panorama” is a tunnel which consists of colored glass panels. At night is lit by spotlights in the floor. We can imagine this tunnel like our way along the life. Hi-tech existence has thrown us off the colorful nature and this installation let us use this tunnel to recollect that life has different colors, not always bright, but always essential. The artist himself hoped to blur the limits between the art and what is a part of the museum. [caption id="attachment_22485" align="alignnone" width="620"] rainbow panorama[/caption]
