+ Lwin Design's Urban Herbarium is designed for urban architectural window ledges and terraces. "The UrbanHerbarium is a self-enclosed growing chamber to germinate and grow edible herbs for your city kitchen. The shape of the Urban Herbarium allows rainwater runoff to be purified and filtered through three sizes of perforated holes in the top and side panels. The pollutants associated with urban living are cleaned using a micro-mesh carbon filtration system - providing a great opportunity to grow edible foods pollutant-free in the city. A terraced & stackable version is also under development.".

+ Built NY Electric Pockets, the iconic design allows many different devices to fit into each of the three sizes. Made of neoprene, the pockets attach just like a luggage tag to a belt or bag.

+ James sent us his Flickr photo set of one of Frank Gehry's latest buildings, the Hotel Marqués De Riscal situated in the middle of a winery in Spain. Currently under construction, it’s due to be completed by year’s end. Thanks James!

+ Just got a call from someone looking for Wallter 3D wall applications which prompted a visit to their website (BTW, we don’t sell the stuff we show here). Wallter, essentially a decorative wall covering, can also be used as instant framing for photos (top left) as well as artistic installations like this one by Max & Linda Geiser at Propeller in San Francisco.
