These amazing Hubcap Creatures by Ptolemy are made from hubcaps that have been found (mostly on the side of the road) and then fashioned into the brilliant creations you see below. If you check out the gallery you'll see many different fish, sharks and a handful of other very cool creatures as well.

Meet the Morph Pad. This is one of those things that can be classified as both creative and useful! It's a great desk toy because you can twist and turn it into colorful paper sculptures over and over again plus you can harvest a sheet whenever you need to jot something down.

The Great Elephant is an amazing 12 metre high by 8 metre wide machine from Les Machines de l'Ile. It doesn't just look magnificent, it's also equipped to carry passengers!

When the majestic animal goes out for its walk, it is like architecture in motion departing a steel cathedral. The 49 passengers on board embark on an amazing journey on the Ile de Nantes. Each time the pachyderm goes out, it is a unique spectacle for everyone to enjoy. From the inside, the passengers will be able to see the moving gears that power the legs. They can make the elephant trumpet and control some its movements, thus becoming truly a part of the Machine.

This Shark Car was made by Patrick Amiot and Brigitte Laurent! I love that they kept the metal look by keeping some of its features sharp and jagged and that headlight makes a perfect glassy shark eye!

Meet the Sitooterie II by Heatherwick Studio! It's really an incredible structure.

The structure is a cube punctured by over 5000 long thin windows that project from all its surfaces and lift it off the ground. The cube, which measures 2.4 x 2.4 metres, is precision-machined from 15mm anodised aluminium and the windows are 18mm square-section aluminium tubes glazed with transparent orange acrylic.
As the long thin windows all point at the exact centre of the cube, it only takes a single light source, located at this central point, to send light through every tube, causing the windows to glow orange. A small number of them also project into the cube to form seating.

These beautiful ceramic raygun sculptures were made by West Magoon from Muddy Mountain Pottery. One thing I really love about them is that some of them are named after sci-fi authors, series and characters!
Below you'll find the Lensman DeLameter.
