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.

The Chameleon Clock app isn't just another app that displays the time - it uses your iPhone or iPad camera to capture the environment and turns it into the clock's background.

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.

The two Italian designers, Francesca Bonfrate and Alessandra Bove, that make up Bubble Design created an at-home gardening collection called Green Kit. The kit is made up of four separate components that include miniature greenhouses, climbing plant supports, and a folding surface to collect loose soil.

Artist Damien Hirst has created a limited edition version of the ever popular Vipp Bin, The Dotted Vipp Bin, with inspiration from his iconic colorful dot design, Chloramphenicol Acetyltransferase. Designed exclusively for the opening of the Astrup Fearnley Museum in Oslo, Norway, there will be a limited number of them for sale at the museum.

Located in a quiet nature reserve near the Upper Seletar reservoir, the Mandai Courtyard House is a peaceful single-story bungalow that's not often seen on the island of Singapore. Atelier M + A met the owner's request to keep the home on one floor instead of building as large as they could go which tends to be the norm.

Who says you have to employ a PR agent to get your work out there? Certainly not Karl Sanford whose wife submitted his Wheelbarrow Chair to us. Her pitch caught my eye and the clever design backed it up so we just had to post about it. I've seen chairs made from wheelbarrows before but none with the leg detail this one has.

Designed by Reza Aliabadi of atelier rzlbd, the 6000-square-foot wood and steel Gallery House is located in the northern edge of Toronto. It's a single family home that takes its cues from institutional architecture where all of the rooms connect off of a long hallway or galleria. The space acts as the spine of the house, allowing the rooms to face in such a way that they have northern and southern exposures, along with views.

Design Milk was lucky enough to visit textile designer Johanna Gullichsen's shop during Helsinki Design Week and it was most impressive. The Finnish company creates woven fabrics in Gullichsen's signature patterns that you can purchase, but they also turn them into an assortment of bags, pillows, and various kitchen items.

Hello Wood is a weeklong art camp in Hungary where 200 young people, led by various architects and designers, come together and create projects for eight different Hungarian communities. The students, with the help of their mentors, come up with ideas based on the socio-economic concerns of these specific regions. The eight projects are then presented to the communities during a party at the week's end.

Kitara is a coffee table from Ukrainian-based designer and digital artist, Max Ptk. Sitting on an A-frame structure, the double layered table combines geometric lines with simple materials, all with a pop of bright yellow thrown in for good measure.
