Brazilian, London-based designer, artist and all-around maker Paulo Goldstein has lended his model-making talents to such films as The Fantastic Mr. Fox and Frankenweenie, but after receiving a Master's Degree in Industrial Design from Central Saint Martins in London, it appears he is opening a whole new chapter. His graduate project, called "Repair is Beautiful" focuses on repairing broken objects from a craftsperson's eye.

The recent exhibition by Danish artist Pia Jensen entitled The Infinity of the Room transforms an entire room into a three-dimensional experience that centers around the hexagon.

Instead of painting with paint, British artist Benjamin Shine creates his portraits with tulle -- you know, that netting fabric that you see on various gowns or tutus. Shine takes a single piece of tulle and proceeds to pleat, iron, and manipulate it into these hauntingly realistic portraits full of light, shadow, and dimension.

Stal Collectief is a Belgian-based design firm who recently release two new projects that include the Koala 45 hammock and the Zwol pendant lamp. I'm pretty sure I let out a shriek when I saw the massively, oversized hammock that I know I'll dream about. The group of four's covet-worthy designs will definitely make you pause and take a second glance and you'll see why.

The Marlborough Gallery, an expansive first floor space in the stand-out Chelsea Arts Tower on 25th Street in NYC, is easy to find. However, the most incredible exhibition on view today is easily overlooked by those too timid to explore a suspicious open-doored janitor closet.

Tiffany & Co. reached the milestone anniversary of 175 years and chose to celebrate by having an exhibition of their archival jewelry travel around China. The New York City-based 2x4 were brought in to design the structure and technological pieces that made up the exhibit.

Brompton Design District boasts a thriving community of independent creative businesses who come together for events like London Design Festival and offer some of the grass roots events that the festival wouldn't be complete without.

I love it when someone's idea is not just clever, but it makes you stop and think like Lambchop's Typographic Fences project. The Michigan-based artist weaves words and phrases into chain-link fences using ordinary flagging tape.

What can you do with 44,000 golf tees? You can make one gigantic, and most impressive, wall mosaic. It took Andrea Kordos and Joe Knight of blackLAB architects inc. four months and approximately 43,964 golf tees to make this wall magic happen in their very own office. Well, that, and a lot of hammering.

Japanese artist Motoi Yamamoto creates large-scale installations with the most unlikely medium - salt. When he was in his early 20s, he quit his full-time job to become an artist and a few years later his younger sister lost her battle with brain cancer. Salt is something often associated with rituals at Japanese funerals and this was his way of connecting to memories of her.

All eyes were on 100% Design at this year's London Design Festival.

In its 18th year, this predominantly trade show seems to have found its feet again. Here are our top picks from the Interiors Section.
