Old Vespa scooters transformed into sleek swivel chairs

Nothing spices up a boring meeting in a conference room like sitting on this beautiful chair by Barcelona design firm Bel & Bel. Called the Scooter Chair, the furniture is crafted out of recycled '80s Vespas. Every numbered piece includes a certificate of authenticity and comes with a reclining feature, functioning taillights, and a hydraulic piston that lets you adjust the height.

More than 200 of these limited edition chairs have been sold worldwide, and if you're interested in getting one, prepare your wallets because they're really expensive. Virgin Hotel has its own model priced at $22K.

Weirdly Charming

If you’re a fan of art that makes you do a double-take, you need to check out Richard Brener . Based in the UK, Richard is an internationally collected artist who works primarily with ink, fineliners, and gouache. When you first see his pieces, they actually look pretty playful. Then you realize the entire canvas is packed with thousands of tiny, ghost-like shapes he calls "champs." They’re all squeezed together like commuters on a rush-hour train, and the level of detail is honestly mind-blowing. Richard spends hundreds of hours drawing these little guys over and over. It’s obsessive, very intentional, and a little bit wild. The cool part is that the longer you stare, the more the vibe shifts. Check out more photos below:

Organ donor signature campaign by Y&R New York

In general, people don't like seeing ads, but sometimes, when companies and ad firms go out of their way to come up with creative, inspirational and clever ways to heighten awareness for their campaigns, ads can be pretty amazing. Take, for example, these posters Y&R developed for Long Live New York . They're simple, yet brilliant, and they appeal to their target audience's emotions. They're now in NYC subways to educate commuters about the noble act of organ donation. [h/t: The Inspiration Room ]
