Tokyo-based architectural model designer, Akinobu Izumi, wanted to do something creative in between her building projects. Using her skills and tools, she started making intricate and beautifully crafted miniature sculptures within tiny tiny glass bottles. Izumi starts by drawing what she wants in each bottle. She then draws the cutting directions using a computer program for her guided paper cutting machine to make a few test cuts. After many adjustments, a precision cut can be made over and over again. Assembling each item in the tiny bottle, using special glue and tweezers, is a painstaking process. Depending on the complexity of the design, it can take as long as a few days.

Nuit Blanche – or White Night – is the French way of describing an all-nighter. But the annual Nuit Blanche festival isn’t just about partying, it’s about art and encouraging Parisians to explore the city from sunset to sunrise, guided by large-scale installations and projections, concerts and dances performances. Now in its eleventh year, the director of the Centre Pompidou-Metz, Laurent Le Bon, has come up with the theme, Paris à l’infini, and for the first time, has arranged for the city to open several major buildings and structures to the public so they can enjoy amazing, high panoramic views over the city. The best part is, it’s all free!
