Every time I see Benja Harney working on something I am amazed, not just at the intricate detail of everything, but the deadlines he works to and the clients he is working for. He is a paper engineer, making sculptures, illustrations, pop up books and objects out of paper. I recently went to an exhibition of his called the Paper Attic where he filled a room full of all things you would find in an attic: ice skates, wine bottles, records, books, all made from paper.

Welcome to the Casa de Karton; a real apartment created entirely out of cardboard and paper by recycling artist Don Lucho. It comes fully furnished with items that one would normally find in a kitchen, bedroom or bathroom. And to further expand on his carton fetish, Lucho very appropriately designed a car in ruins; seen mounted on the Santiago de Chile street front curb as part of the project. PS: watching the hilariously brilliant car crash in action is a must! Read more

The American architect Steven Holl designed this building with a pedestrian bridge that links two sides of the harbour in the distinctly low-rise Copenhagen. Read more
This website hosts a nice collection of quirky, sometimes mind-boggling, sculptures from around the world. There’s a certain Dali-esque feel to a lot of them – those surreal, dreamy hallucinations turned into a warped reality. I’ve always been a sucker for art that really catches you out for a few seconds, and these certainly do that.
