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.

Irene Saputra's Colorful Stitched Pieces

Embroidery is nowhere near forgotten, and in fact, it's experiencing something of a resurgence as artists around the globe are putting their own unique spins on the craft. Indonesia's Irene Saputra is one of them, and more than 45,000 people on Instagram already follow her. Handmade from colorful threads stitched onto fabric, Irene's embroideries begin as original illustrations. What I really like about her stitched pieces is that some of them are meant to be worn. Look at an array of her handiwork!

These images are from a series of wall sculptures created by Yen Yen Lo . Here you can see her intricately textured ceramic pieces, looking downright adorable.
