Smarter Cities
Ogilvy France has created a series of outdoor ads which double as variously a shelter, a seat and a ramp as part of its People for Smarter Cities IBM campaign.
As the film below explains, adding a simple curve can turn a billboard into something with an additional use, although the placement of the ads and the lack of any media company branding around them suggest that they are very much one-offs, created in order to be documented and spread online.

Green & blacks, new campaign

Mother has created a unique and bold new print and outdoor campaign for Green & Black's Organic Chocolate.
The campaign gives each chocolate bar in the range its own alluring persona, is the first by Mother for the brand since it picked up the business last year.
The aim of the campaign, which carries the strapline is "This is not a chocolate bar", is to highlight the range's depth and variety of flavour and overturn the perception that Green & Black's is dark chocolate only
Nicely styled & crafted (apart from the final execution)

Pulp fiction
These are all made with paper by Los Angeles-based artist Vincent Tomczyk. Amazingly, he does not rely on digital printing. These are all hand painted.
See more of his work at his website: http://www.vincenttomczyk.com/
Sourced from http://www.thisiscolossal.com/
Perhaps even more unbelievable are these WOOD sculptures by Randall Rosenthal. Each one of these is carved out of a single block of wood and hand painted.
The only way I was able to really believe the method was by seeing these process images on his gallerist's website: http://www.jsauergallery.com/sagemoon/artistPages/RRosenthal.html
