RISES UP WHEN TURNED ON

Via: 3ring

Text Via 3ring:

When turned on, it goes up and stays up. When turned off, it falls limp. If you’re looking for a conversation piece, look no further. To clarify, V/a.g.r.a. is a lamp and its designer, Romolo Stanco of Italian design lab nonesiste, obviously has a sense of humor. Given the number of VIAGRA commercials broadcast lately, you really can’t blame him. Moving beyond the obvious puns, V/a.g.r.a. is in effect, a living lamp composed of “embryonic and morpho-organic articles that come to life, move and react as living creatures stimulated by light.”

101 RUSSEL HILL ROAD / GH3

Via: archdaily

Built in the style of architecture of the 1970’s, the house was renovated several times following a traditional approach to the house design by converting large open spaces to a cellular room design. The renovation reopened the ground floor so that it became an open loft-like space from front to back (the house is about 70′ long).

Kid Cudi on his career expectations...

"My whole thing is to not to be as big as Kanye or Lil Wayne, but to be bigger. It’s all about progression. If I just set the goal to want to be like Kanye and Lil Wayne, that’s setting my shit to a limit and it’s selling myself short. I’m pretty sure when Kanye was aspiring to do his music, he wasn’t like, I want to be as big as Jay. He was like, Nah, I want to be bigger then Jay. It’s not necessarily saying that you are better than them, it’s just setting that bar. If I never am better then Kanye, in my brain, I’m always going to be trying to be, forever and ever until the day that I die.

…on Reebok situation

It was never about Reebok, the brand or anything like that. Nike don’t always make the dopest shoes, no brand makes dope shit all the time. I was opposed to the shoes they tried to give me—I didn’t like them. I didn’t get into because it was Reebok people, I got into it with one individual who approached me the wrong way. I’m a man at the end of the day. I’m not a fighter, I don’t like violence—hell, I don’t even know if I know how to fight. I’m not a strategic fighter, that’s not my steez. I don’t know how to work a gun if you gave me one, I wouldn’t want to fucking touch it. But at the same time, I ain’t no sucker and I was in a situation where a dude was trying to test me as a man. I let it get to me, but that will never happen again. A nigga want to test me? So what. I will never let anyone rub me the wrong way. It’s something I don’t regret at all. It was something I needed to do at that time. That dude was wrong. I reacted off of his reaction. He interfered in a conversation I was having with two other people. I wasn’t even the first one to put hands on him, my security Zule was. I tell people, he’s always close, he’s not even certified, he’s just a nigga from the hood.

…on New Album

Right now, the name of the album is Man On The Moon, The Guardians. It may change, depending on the features. Right now Snoop is down, he told me his oldest son put him on to my record. Snoop is my favorite artist of all time. He’s someone I look up to. I explained to him the idea of the song and he’s with it. I’m also trying to get Shia Labeouf in my project. I want the album to be as cinematic as possible, and feature people that are great at what they do. We’re both young talents in this game, and I just found out Shia was a fan of my song “Day N’ Night,” and I’m a fan of his. He’s killing shit, I feel like I’m doing the Shia Labeouf in music. We’re working on trying to get him to narrate the story of the album.
