Wonderful use of minimal space in the Long Tall House by architect Kagawa Takanori of SPACESPACE. Note the photographs in the right column above show the same room with a slide-out stairway.

Huge collection of lust-worthy photos of the project over at Dezeen.

The Glyphboard iPhone app takes advantage of the copy/paste functionality of the 3.0 OS, allowing you quick access to many of the unicode glyphs that are otherwise impossible to type with the iPhone keyboard.

The part that really intrigues me is that this is technically a web app. Once you save the page to your home screen from Safari, however, it no longer runs inside the Safari wrapper, behaving just like a legit app. Apparently, this was a feature introduced in 2.1 OS.

Hubba hubba. Genetic Stair by Caliper Studio of Brooklyn is composed materially of polished stainless steel, white translucent Corian and low-iron glass. At home in the Manhattan apartment of two art collectors, it stands free from any wall, supported only at the top and bottom.

Gorgeous. The Susuki Taste of the Light floor lamp by Metaphys is inspired by the Japanese grass of the same name. I can just picture the delicate light stalks swaying gracefully as you walk by. Love.

1 dress. 365 days. The Uniform Project is NYC designer and creative director Sheena Matheiken’s exercise in sustainable fashion, as well as a year-long fundraiser for the Akanksha Foundation, a grassroots movement that is revolutionizing education in India.

There are 7 identical dresses, one for each day of the week. Every day I will reinvent the dress with layers, accessories and all kinds of accouterments, the majority of which will be vintage, hand-made, or hand-me-down goodies. Think of it as wearing a daily uniform with enough creative license to make it look like I just crawled out of the Marquis de Sade’s boudoir.

She is a fellow Tumblrererer, too!

If you have been a fan of the jiggy UNIQLOCK by Japan’s UNIQLO clothing firm, then you might like the new UNIQLO Calendar.

Ross Racine creates artwork from fictitious communities and subdivisions.

Investigating the relation between design and actual lived experience, the works subvert the apparent rationality of urban design, exposing conflicts that lie beneath the surface. These digital drawings are a comment on the fears as well as the dreams of suburban culture.
