Midcentury-style birdhouses / KoolBird

If you can’t afford a midcentury gem, you can always invest in one for your feathered friends, courtesy of these midcentury-style birdhouses by KoolBird. The only downside here is (perhaps with the exception of price) is deciding which one to opt for. There are 10 designs in the range.

All are handmade (which perhaps accounts for the price), all are eco-friendly, made from a variety of tropical hardwoods sourced from offcuts via tropical hardwood floor manufacturers and all are available to buy online in limited numbers.

Prices start at around £89 — via Retro To Go

Octopus Anamorph / Truly Design

At the SAMO space for contemporary art in Italy, the inventive art collective Truly Design have transformed a simple concrete hanger into a B-Movie set, as a giant jungle green coloured octopus spreads it eight tentacles over pillars and the ceiling. They use the space provided to them in ingenious ways, as the dips and cracks of the hanger become places to create perspective illusions — via Illusion Magazine
