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.

This installation puts painting robots to shame

In the courtyard of London's Victoria & Albert Museum stands the Elytra Filament Pavilion , a massive glass and carbon fiber canopy fabricated by robots. It is inspired by the fibrous structures of flying beetles and will be open until November in the John Madejski Garden. The futuristic shelter is the brainchild of experimental architect Achim Menges, along with collaborators Moritz Dörstelmann, Jan Knippers and Thomas Auer. While the structure currently measures 200 square meters in size, it will gradually grow bigger overtime, depending on how visitors interact with it.

Anthill Art

Turns out you can make something pretty cool when you pour boiling, liquid metal on top of an anthill. Harsh for the ants, yes, but according to Anthill Art , these insects are "harmful to the environment and their nests are exterminated by the millions in the United States using poisons, gasoline and fire, boiling water, and very rarely molten aluminum."

This pizza box transforms into a weed pipe

If you're using pot on a regular basis, then you probably already know that pizza is one of the best foods to eat when you're stoned. Weed and pizza go hand in hand, that's why the creators of the Push For Pizza app launched a clever box to combine these two together. It's pretty simple. The box has a small detachable cardboard flap, which users can then easily roll into a pipe. There's also a stand in the center of the box, which doubles as the bowl. Currently, there are no plans for mass production, but that could change based on how well the design is received by the public. Isn't it time we start to get some of this stuff in the Philippines?
