Decorative magnetic panels that add personality to your furniture by Presotto

Italian furniture company Presotto Italia is getting quite innovative with their ModulArt series of furnishing systems. They are offering magnetic decorative panels that adhere to the doors of the furniture system which allows you to redecorate it in multiple ways to suite your tastes. If this video is anything to go by, it does look quite easy too.

They also have a page set up on their site that helps you visualize how the different patterns will get mapped to the different units. And to seal the deal, they have put up some very enticing images that show off how beautiful this can be. Good stuff, Presotto.

Google’s Wall Art Contest Winners

When Jonathan Rosenberg, Senior VP of Product Management at Google, walked the corridors of their London office, he was intrigued by a Google logo he saw on the wall. It was a beautiful 20 feet wide photo mosaic of UK which also included within it a giant representation of the company’s logo. 

It was designed by Googler Clay Bavor who used 884 individually printed 4×6 photographs of people, places, and things around the U.K. (all of which were taken by Googlers).

He has also graciously posted a time lapse video of its making. (The camera shot a picture every 7 seconds so the 5.5 hours of work got compressed to 1 min 20 seconds in the video)

Well, our story doesn’t end here. Jonathan was so impressed with the project that he decided to organize a ‘Googley Art Wall’ contest within the company and soon several teams from all over the world expressed interest to participate. In all 23 teams from 12 offices across eight countries submitted videos and photographs of their work. Here is what they came up with:

Rubik’s Cubes Galore (Taipei) – made out of 850 Rubik’s Cubes – First Prize

Flavors & Fusion (Singapore) – each letter is filled with dried beans, rice, grains and pasta

Wall of Doodle (Mountain View) – a highly-detailed 3D doodle makes up each letter of the logo

Periodic Table of Google Elements (Mountain View) – an arrangement of facts and stats about Google and the Internet

Scrappy (San Francisco) made entirely out of food packaging scraps from the microkitchen
