Some Books You'll Get Into

Kansas City, Missouri is an oddly interesting Midwestern city for design much like Cincinnati, Ohio and Columbus, Indiana are for architecture. Local citizens were asked to nominate books that most appropriately represented the city. The spines of the chosen books' covers were recreated as an architectural feature to mask the parking garage at the public library.

Marbelous!

Instead of playing with your food, you can play with your table. "Marbelous" is the latest offering from Nathan Wierink and Tineke Beunders of the Ontwerpduo studio. Marbles roll into grooves on the tabletop, down the spindled legs and collect in a box at the bottom. It's a lot of money well spent for five minutes of fun!
