Clase Azul's La Hacienda complex in Jalisco features "ceramic horizon"

A team of architects has produced a multi-building complex called La Hacienda for tequila brand Clase Azul in Jalisco, Mexico, integrating artisanal building practices at an industrial scale for its red-hued structures.

After securing 22 hectares in the highlands of Jalisco, Clase Azul founder Arturo Lomelí commissioned five architects to submit proposals for a complex that would integrate production, storage and cultural activities for his global tequila brand.

The goal was to create a space to support production and operations, while educating the public on both Mexican craft and the art of tequila...

Guimi You’s Atmospheric Oil Paintings Delve into Memory, Introspection, and Rediscovery

Whether it’s the atmosphere casting a haze or the fuzziness of memories and dreams, Guimi You’s lush paintings have an aura of wistfulness and quietude. The Seoul-based artist creates dreamy oil compositions that tap into personal experience, passing time, and how one gains perspective and reevaluates their needs or desires as they go through life.

You’s canvases are infused with elements of still life and landscape traditions, where anonymous protagonists reflect quietly in a garden, pause in a golden meadow, or stroll through a park in the rain. Cerulean shadows complement the magenta jacket of a woman strolling with her dog...

Rolls-Royce's Self-Leveling Wheel Center Caps

Companies like to control their branding, and here's an extreme example. These are Rolls‑Royce wheel center caps, which have the logo on them.

Inside these caps are bearings and a counterweight. Thus whether the wheels are stationary or spinning, the logo always stays level:

The company invented these and started rolling them out with the Phantom VII, in the early 2000s. (You can imagine that prior to this, the company's fussy art directors would have to jack the car up and rotate the wheels manually during photo shoots.)

Theo Bosboom Takes a Bug’s-Eye View in His Perspective-Shifting ‘Flowerscapes’

Stand in any forest and look up, and it’s hard not to be mesmerized by the swaying of tall trees and their elegant canopies casting shade onto the woodland floor. But imagine being an ant or beetle and peering up at the stems of wild geraniums, garlic, or buttercups and experiencing the same sensation. For photographer Theo Bosboom, this ground-level view of flowers and plants gave rise to a series that captures them in the way we might photograph a grove of towering, ancient sequoias.

Traversing local landscapes around his home in the Netherlands and sometimes venturing across the border into...

The chair was recently featured on Dezeen Showroom alongside a seating collection based on the 1960s Metabolism design movement and a series of lighting that encourages users to interact casually to illuminate them.

Strange Mobility: The Halfbike Pro, a Compact Bicycle with No Seat

https://invidious.privacyredirect.com/watch?v=J9hOLeL6r8c

When Bulgarian architect Martin Angelov moved into a small apartment, storing his road bike became a hassle. He subsequently designed the Halfbike, a strange-looking bicycle with no seat:

Demand was there, and Angelov got the Halfbike into production following a successful Kickstarter. That was over a decade ago, and the bike has since gone through four iterations. The latest is the Halfbike Pro, which is made of aluminum and folds in half for storage:

The company says the bike provides a fun workout that...

1976 (2026)

1976 For me, this project is a kind of origin research: an attempt to imagine what the world may have been like when I arrived. What surrounded me in those first moments, what significant traces were present in that year. My particular origin story is about how I see all of this from 2026. For the posters, I selected elements from that year whose impact can still be felt today, and simply composed them around the number 76.
