“Ice Drop” handmade glass candle holder by Mehtap Obuz for Ilio (Source: worclip)
Like a melting icicle suspended from the branch of a tree, Ice Drop is literally frozen liquid in motion. Each is mouth-blown free form glass, each truly unique. Sculpture and candle holder all in one.

“Matka vase” by Pepe Heykoop (Source: jeffrigerator via risdid)
Using distinctive techniques from his Skin Collection, Matka Vases are designed by Pepe Heykoop and produced in his workshop located in one of the poorest neighborhoods in Mumbai, India, providing meaningful jobs, income and hope for the neediest.
Matka Vase is designed using recycled Matka’s (traditional Indian stainless steel water carriers) and scrap leather. Every single vase contains a unique and personal story both of its previous owner and the person who gave it new life and use. Matka Vase has just recently gone into production and proceeds from sales are partly used to send street children to school.
As a reaction to the huge amount of waste of high quality leather created by the furniture industry (25 up to 30%), Pepe has designed the Skin Collection in 2011. In 2012, the Matka vase was born. The scraps generate a unique and random pattern as every piece has a different shape, giving the Matka a new life by turning waste into a Vase.

Photo manipulations by Yao Lu (Source: Colossal)
The artist photographs mounds of garbage covered in green protective nets which he assembles and reworks by computer to create bucolic images of mountain landscapes shrouded in the mist inspired by traditional Chinese paintings.
Lying somewhere between painting and photography, between the past and the present, Yao Lu’s work speaks of the radical mutations affecting nature in China as it is subjected to rampant urbanization and the ecological threats that endanger the environment.
