This app connected couch can morph into any piece of furniture you need

Lift-Bit is a shape-shifting sofa that can be controlled via an app. It's comprised of individual honeycomb-shaped stools that are motorized and can be moved around to create various seating positions. Say, for example, you're chilling and you want to use your laptop, you can easily raise one of the stools to serve as a table for the device. If you're having a shindig, you can easily remove seats so your friends will have more space to get their groove on.

Designed by Carlo Ratti for Swiss furniture company Vitra, Lift-Bit is currently a prototype, but stools can be pre-ordered for $900 each. Sofa of the future? Too expensive if you ask me.

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?
