Public Art Sculpture in Queensland, Australia
This is the Position Sculpture created by Pavel Perina and Hana Perinova. It is made from eucalyptus branches and tree bark wrapped around steel construction and it was part of the Currumbin Sculpture Festival in Queensland, Australia.

Six Eye-Catching Bathtubs
On most peoples’ priority list for interior design, bathtubs unfortunately don’t rank very high, but here are six wow-worthy bathtubs that we could really get into.
The Milo Bath designed by Alessandro Lenarda. Spotted at Gruppo Treesse.
The Calypso Ciliegio Bath designed by Alessandro Lenarda. From Gruppo Treesse.
The Inside designed by Fabrizio Batoni. Spotted at Gruppo Treesse.
No Squares Here!
Looks like someone was paying attention in geometry class and learned a little about quadrilateral trapeziums. That someone would be the people at Lunde & Løvseth Architects who designed this unique doorway at the Norwegian Petroleum Museum in Stavanger, Norway.
Four Twisted Tables

Interior Inspiration
Thanks to Samantha for letting us know about this apartment in Cape Town, South Africa.

House in Minneapolis, Minnesota
This 3 bedroom/3 bathroom prefab “Weehouse” designed by Alchemy Architects is an excellent example of a realistic contemporary house design. I use the word realistic because unlike the many amazing architectural masterpieces we’ve featured on Contemporist, this is more affordable and accessible to the average homebuilder.
Perhaps designs like this will replace the current popularity of McMansions as the
standard house design?
New Chair & Ottoman from West Elm
This is the New Random Weave Chair & Ottoman made from natural abaca bark that is woven around a metal frame. Available at West Elm.
Townhouses in Memphis, Tennessee
Besides their clean lines and simple elegance, I really enjoy how these townhouses choose to interact with the street instead of retreating away from it.
