Soon this place will be too small

Amy Friend: "Throughout my life I have been surrounded by the accumulated possessions of deceased relatives – remnants of the past were omnipresent. My Italian Immigrant family, who lived through the Great Depression, threw nothing away. I was aware that specific items "had belonged" to people I knew, through stories of family history: the deceased occupied a place in our home."Via Curate 1k.

I absolutely love it - the pink one looks like gigant paper cut chewing gum! Check out more of her fantastic work here or here or here or...Via The Jealous Curator.

Inside out

Samuel Coendet and Lea Gerber from Atelier Volvox collected plush toys from second-hand shops and forgotten corners of nursery schools and gave them a new life by opening, reversing and resewing them. Love the idea – it's so funny (and a little scary!). The Outsiders toys received the Recycling Design Preis 2012 in Germany last week. Via Dezeen.
