Architect's Blueprint Paperweight

Three-dimensional wit for the desktop and a delightful way to hold down papers. Tibor Kalman's typically clever style is evident in this rigid silk-screened vinyl paperweight, hand-crumpled and wrapped around a steel weight. Clever blueprint whimsy features a replica of an architectural drawing.

World Record House Of Cards

American architect Bryan Berg has succeeded himself as the world record holder in number of cards stacked. Bryan Berg used 218,792 cards (4,051 decks) to create a replica of the Venetian Macau with no glue or other aids to hold them together.

Berg took 44 days to complete his model inside the Venetian, which sits at the heart of Macau's Cotai Strip, the China-ruled city's version of Las Vegas' neon alley. The hotel replica stands almost ten feet tall and is 33 feet long! Cool!

The Great JJ Outdoor Lamp

Basically, a huge desk lamp for the outdoors!

The Great JJ Outdoor (a replica of the famous Jac Jacobsen’s L-1 architect lamp which was designed in 1937) was designed by Centro Stile design studio with exaggerated proportions for an entirely surreal aesthetic.
