Check out the Limes Hotel by Argentinian designer Alexander Lotersztain opened at the end of last month in Brisbane, Australia. Simply gorgeous.

Okay, here’s a treat for everyone.

” Like a dark obsession with arachnids, Japanese-born artist Chiharu Shiota wraps objects from floor to ceiling in miles of black wool. Her work, ambiguous and stunning, leaves you curious about the strangled objects seemingly suspended in time and space. ” (via Momeld)

Daniel Arsham was born in 1980 (oh sweet, me too! ) in Cleveland, Ohio. He lives and works in New York and Miami. See all of his work over here.

Eno Henze works are tortuously amazingggggggggggggggggggggg!!!

Madrid-based street artist Sam3 is definitely one of my favorite. Hey, when you get a chance, check out Blu as well.

I found this series called No Eyes by Pocket Paul taken in London. So eerie.

Vancouver-based artist Ben Tour’s paintings and illustrations are.. well.. phenomenal!

Artist Robert Bradford creates sculptures made from plastic toys. Okay, cool.

Esther Stocker, if you are reading this, I just want to say thank you for being one of my biggest inspiration in the world of art, style and design.

” The work of Esther Stocker (1974) suggests a reflection on the meaning of geometric abstraction, on the perceptive approaches between the viewer and the artwork, as well as an innovative reconsideration of the Italian artistic experiences from the Sixties and, especially, of the experimentations by the gruppo T (Colombo, Varisco, De Vecchi and others).
Her visual language thoroughness enables us to consider again the issue of the relation between the artwork and the audience by means of the specificity of the painting structural elements. Primal forms, grids, compositional geometries that vibrate because of the interaction between the “non-colours” black and white are, both for the viewers and for the insiders, a singular occasion to deal with an artistic path that reintroduces the reflection on the modernity’s conceptual and visual devices. ” (via Galleria Contemporaneo)

Balloon Dog (Yellow), high chromium stainless steel with transparent color coating, 121 x 143 x 45 in.

My friend Jed writes:

” I’m really in awe when I first saw this piece. I never would’ve thought about someone making a metallic balloon dog. It does give me the sense that anyone can create anything possible. I like minimalism. That balloon dog is a perfect example. The piece is located on the rooftop of The Metropolitan Museum. Fortunately, it was a cloudy day because the sun’s reflection would cause glare problems. The whole rooftop exhibit is all of Jeff Koons. ”
