I think I’m in love. This is the most beautiful cellphone I’ve ever seen. “Home made” meets “cutting edge” in this super cool DIY cellphone project by David Mellis. For the reasonable sum of 150$USD, you can have all the parts to make a custom, laser cut plywood cellphone that is compatible with a standard SIM card and any GSM provider. In english, that means you can make your own cellphone that looks way cooler than anyone else’s and it actually works! I’m due for a new phone soon anyway. Take a look here.

Taiwanese artist Mary Leu carves socks, towels, bras, undies and schoolbags out of wood. She has also carved vegetables out of wood. Why anyone would go to the extent of recreating the soft fuzz and texture of objects made of fabric like cotton and terry, we can’t imagine why. We’d love to see her carve the likeness of actors who can’t act next.

The Paris-based Elemotions design studio is pretty small, but his 100 percent artisan products tend to activate big emotions. And hence his name. Its ever-evolving table e-Sputnik emerges as a clean crystal surface landing on three wooden legs, all departing from a solid spherical ball. Nothing else, nothing more. Very limited editions of the product have been produced and sold during the last two years, each one of them unique and with slight alterations from the previous one. Actually, Antonio Morales, the architect behind the firm, keeps on evolving its design, now exploring a completely foldable wood version of his most well-known table, which should be ready for Spring 2013.

I start the day with a full, tidy wallet, and end with it empty – it’s possessions scattered throughout my pockets. I have just purchased a new wallet, which eliminates the problem of coins and excess ‘stuff’ due to its simplicity. Slim Timber provide unique, hard wearing wallets out of a single piece of wood. I chose the Walnut grain, and as well as being less likely to cave in whilst in my back pocket, they look more than awesome.

If you ever feel like normal paintings are missing something, Korean artist Seong Tae Jin may have the answer. The scenes that burst with color are actually created by carving out a block of wood and then painting onto it. As you can see, the creations are extremely intricate and would be mindblowing in the flesh. Road trip anyone?

Thonet in collaboration with London-based designer Andy Martin have created an amazing concept road bicycle. The bike is made from beech wood, with carbon fibre wheels. It’s truly a machine of beauty and allows for a greater connection to the bicycle and the surface on which you ride. With the capability of using several interchangeable gear ratios we’d recommend it. Oh, just one thing: there’s no brakes. Yes, ouch, ouch, ouch.
