This vendo looks intriguing.


Vending machines are essential (at least for me), but that doesn't mean that they have to be ugly eyesores. Check out this really cool vendo in Japan. Just like other vending machines, this thing dispenses water and soft drinks, but what I really like about it is the design. The vendo is disguised behind a wooden exterior, has a rustically weathered look, and really matches its surroundings. The photo was shared by Twitter user @ekimemo_kinako while visiting the Iwami Ginzan Silver Mine, a World Heritage Site in Shimane Prefecture.

The Adorable Sculptures of Yen Yen Lo

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. Yen Yen Lo's eye for the unique and whimsical is delightful. Apparently they are not intended for kids under 16. Fifteen-year-olds cannot be trusted with fragile stuff. Get them a Funko Pop instead.

Beautiful hand-crafted books by Arion Press

Anthony Bourdain visits San Francisco's Arion Press , one of the last shops in the world where an entire book is created by hand. Blocks of text are assembled from cast typefaces. Pages are printed one at a time on centuries-old letterpress printing equipment; the pages are stitched together on the spot. Two to three limited edition books are published per year. Each is conceptually unique. [h/t: Sploid ]
