Miller Lagos is the creator behind the Book Igloo. This installation was created for MagnanMetz Gallery in New York City and it's entitled simply “Home”.  Each book was carefully stacked to create a compact dome that is entirely self-supporting.  I guess if you were bored, you could take a book from your house and have a nice read, although it would leave a hole in your house.

Sometimes time is easier to be said in words and that is what the QLOCKTWO does.  It will be available to the market later this year. It's cased in natural brushed stainless steel or black, 35 x 35 x 7mm, black leather or natural rubber strap, calendar day and second display, LED technology.

In a square there is a grid of 110 letters. When the stainless steel button is pressed, words light up in unexpected places which describe the time. Whenever you look at your QLOCKTWO W, it´s a new experience.

Looking forward to adding this beautiful watch to my collection., how about you? They even have a desk/alarm clock as well, if your interested.

Talked about an upgrade to an old Victorian terraced house.  They took a dark and narrow kitchen area and transformed it into a lighted area. They took the ground floor that was expanded into an unused yard area and backwards into area previously occupied by an outside wood construction. What a way to use the old space to gain new space and give an old style a huge modern add-on. Check more about the house here.

Kim Høltermand who is a freelance architectural and landscape photographer from Denmark created this series Desert City. This series reminds me of getting up early on a foggy day and wondering the city in the early morning and admiring the silence and beauty of my town. What does this series make you think of.  If you think this series is sweet you should check out his other series.

I came across this video, If Facebook Were Invented in the 90's and it had me rolling. I could only imagine the idea of what someone's thoughts would have been on the idea of Facebook back in the 90's. I mean you're on dial up for crying out loud. I highly recommend watching this, the sounds and style alone made it funny.  It was from a VHS tape with the popular science show ‘Wonders of the World Wide Web’ about Facebook. Enjoy!

I don't think I have every talked about rope sculptures on TCL before, so here it is for the first time.  The artist Mozart Guerra created these realistic three-dimensional models of animal and human heads and then wraps them with nylon rope. They are beautiful pieces of art like the Rams head and the Giraffe and the Geisha Head. Check out more of Brazilian artist Mozart Guerra here.

We all remember the good old Total Recall from the 90's, with the chick with three titties. Yeah, that movie came out 22 years ago, but I think it's time for a reboot. Ladies and gentlemen let me introduce the official trailer for Total Recall due out in August. The plot of this new version contains strong political influences, as mentioned in the novel. It is being directed by Len Wiseman and written by Mark Bomback, James Vanderbilt and Kurt Wimmer. It was first announced back in 2009. So enjoy!

You know what time it is, time for a new TCL Playlist-36.  In this months installment we have a new track by Greg Laswell who is returning with Landline, a stunning and sonically dense collection of new songs that will be available on April 24th.

The two stop motion videos below were shot by animation studio Stoptrick and they feature the origami works of Sipho Mabona. In these video, I couldn't help but think that the design from start to finish looked like precision style dancing. The way that the paper moved and folded to either; start from the beginning of the design to going backwards. Check out more of Sipho work as well as Stoptrick.
