Flexible Love

Flexible Love's convertible furniture make Murphy beds look like child's play. Serving as an example of innovation at its finest, the company uses an ‘accordion-like, honeycomb’ structure to create durable furniture pieces produced from recycled materials such as paper and wood waste. Basically, this sofa/love seat/chair is a life size slinky for your house. Yes please.

Faux Swimming Pool

No need to haul your top of the line snorkel gear here. Actually, don't even bring your swim suit (unless you are incredibly comfortable with your figure) because this swimming pool is not really a swimming pool at all. At least not in the conventional sense. Argentinian artist, Leandro Erlich created an installation, called The Swimming Pool, for The 21st Century Museum of Contemporary Art in Kanazawa, Japan. He created the pool by placing two clear, acrylic glass layers on the pool's surface and then filled the space in between the pieces of glass with water, creating an incredibly realistic effect. (P.S- for a little extra safety tip, I would not condone any form of fancy diving in this artsy swimming establishment.)
