It may be old news to you, but it’s new news to me: Muji, one of my (and everyone else’s) favorite retailers, makes houses! Of course they are perfectly pristine, clean-lined, gorgeous and functional without a wasted corner houses. Their blog details all finished projects (this links to an amusingly-translated Babelfish version). The houses start at about $150k- buying a little land somewhere and plopping one of these down sounds very tempting. Dwell says: “Constructing a home takes about 4 months with the option of a Japanese traditional ceremony with a Shinto priest to remove evil spirits from the land, etc.”…heh! Via Racked/ Dwell.

Back on track with Bethan Laura Wood’s genius Stain teacup. The artist says: “Stain is a set of a teacups designed to improve through use. This project examines the assumption that use is damaging to a product (For example, scratches on an iPod). The interior surface of the cup is treated so as to stain more in predetermined places. The more the cups are used, the more the pattern is revealed. Over time they will build up an individual pattern dependent on the users personal way of drinking tea.”

I wish I had this much free time to dedicate to something, anything…

This guy took the released data from the video for Radiohead’s House of Cards (the one ‘shot’ with lasers) and translated it into Lego.
