The Grand Ballroom at Musée d’Orsay. 

Musée d’Orsay is a museum that was originally a railway station, Gare d’Orsay, constructed for the Chemin de Fer de Paris à Orléans and finished in time for the 1900 Exposition Universelle to the design of three architects: Lucien Magne, Émile Bénard and Victor Laloux. It was the terminus for the railways of southwestern France until 1939.

A House with a Tree in the Middle of the Living Room 

 Casa Vogue is a residential project designed by the architect Alessandro Sartore to integrate into the natural landscape of Rio de Janeiro, Brazil with the plants allowed to pass through the structure and thus bring more texture into the living areas.

The tree in the middle of the living room is a large mango called Bethany and it passes through a hole in the floor slab with a diameter of three meters. The tree was the inspirational element that determined the entire layout of the house with its shading and ventilation.

As land-dwelling creatures, it’s hard for us humans to make deep sea animal friends. Until deep-submergence vehicles become household items, Japanese online retailer Felissimo (previously featured here) is offering the next best thing: purses and pouches shaped like an umbrella octopus (Opisthoteuthis japonica), the Frilled Shark, Leptocephalus (the transparent larval stage of the eel), and Kiwa hirsuta, aka the “Yeti Lobster.”

Visit the Felissimo international webstore for ordering info.
