The subjects of many…

Japanese award winning artist Yuki Matsueda certainly knows how to think outside-of-the-box. His art, featuring everyday objects, look as though parts of them are attempting to break free! Egg yolk, puzzle pieces and the suits of playing cards are no match for the artist who retains ultimate control.
I enjoy how there's a sense of movement to each piece. While simple, Matsueda's…

Who would have guessed that such a gorgeous lamp could be made from hundreds of origami fortune tellers? The best part about this lantern however, is how the light radiates from it.
