Berlin based designer Elisa Stroyzk has created the wooden carpet, an inventive concept that combines sculpture with interior decorating. The small geometric wood pieces are laser cut and form a soft but sturdy surface that can be molded in an infinite amount of ways. It can lie flat to cover the floor, or stand as a piece on its own, a little changeable work of art for your living room. The carpet comes in a few different designs, made up of different geometric and kaleidoscopic patterns.

British designer Paul Neave has his own personal Flash playground at his website Neave.com. Started in 1999, he has built a website full of different interactive experiments that will entertain you for hours. From music visualizers to a dandelion that disperses when you blow into your speaker, Neave has developed clever programs that give the viewers some control over his work. The most compelling work of interactive art is his Television, where you click through random clips that are taken out of context from hundreds of sources. The only recognizable one I found was a clip from Don Hertzfeldt’s “Rejected” series – most are extremely obscure and serve to overwhelm you with imagery, but at the pace you desire. Some of his works, like his internet TV, have social implications, while others are simply the product of his whimsical curiosity.

Italian designer Luca Veneri has transformed the bathtub with the “Ego,” a simple and organic design. The bathtub is sleek and glossy, finished in HI-MACS (Natural Acrylic Stone made from 75% natural mineral), and stain resistant. The “Ego” also incorporates a waterfall shower system – a flat blade of water created by an aerator and water channeling system. To add a touch of sophistication to your bathroom it’ll set you back about $6,500, but it seems to be definitely worth it for the innovative design and comfort.

The Manhattan Tree House Pavilion was completed October 6th after only four weeks since the idea was conceived and designed. Combing childlike nostalgia with sleek, innovative architecture, the modernized treehouse was constructed in the Armory Building in NYC as one of the main fixtures for Microsoft Open House and launch of Windows Mobile 6.5. The 12-foot tall by 32-foot long tube enclosure sits ten feet in the air and rests between four 24-foot tall logs, wrapped in an airy fabric that allows the structure to glow. It was designed by Andrew van Leeuwen of Build LLC off of a concept by Seattle based Wexley School for Girls. The aim was to create a sleek but raw structure – “modernism with a soul.”
