Art

Royal Enfield is one of those rare brands that naturally lends itself to one-off custom builds. Case in point: the "Project Delta," a classic custom motorcycle that draws inspiration from the motorcycle culture of the 40s and 50s.

Custom motorcycle builder Maxwell Hazan has been creating stunning bespoke works of art on two wheels for discerning collectors. Recently, he's been working on a ludicrous project: packing a fire-breathing Ferrari V8 engine into a handmade bike.

This is quite possibly the most over-engineered pen of all time, and it looks like it's straight out of a spycraft lab. The Hancept Zero Mk2 is a 2-mm-thick contraption that can slip into a credit card slot, and magically fold into a hexagonal pen.

Some of the most intriguing videos on the internet aren't "viral sensations" … instead, they lurk deep beneath YouTube's placid surface. A wonderfully weird little film known as Mary Worth – the Movie definitely fits in the latter category.

Back in 2016, we featured a stunning wooden machine that employed falling steel marbles to play a merry tune. As plans are drawn up for a new version, its builder has looked back to the designs of Leonardo da Vinci for inspiration.

Walls in many homes play host to art prints or family photos, but refreshing your collection can be a pain. Thanks to a nifty tap-to-print feature and color ePaper technology, the Reflection Frame updates imagery in seconds and is easy on the eyes.

In most hotels, if the room temperature drops below freezing, there's going to be complaints to the manager – however in the Icehotel that's the whole point. It features sub-zero suites that are decorated with weird and wonderful frozen sculptures.

Imagine having a picture on your wall that completely changes when the room gets too warm. Engineers at MIT have created a new printing technology called Thermochromorph to make full-color images that switch in response to temperature.

Digital reader outfit PocketBook has designed what's billed as the world's first ePaper color poster/art display, and has partnered with E Ink and Sharp to bring it to life. The InkPoster comes in three sizes and employs two screen technologies.

Whether you're Lego-curious or a devotee of the church of the colored brick, this world-first app lets you capture your surroundings in unique model form like never before. And it does all the hard work, leaving you with the fun part – the build.

Thirty years since Cosmo Kramer spruiked his coffee table book of coffee tables, a new companion tome has arrived, and it's become quite a hit. It's the coffee table book dedicated to coffee. (Sadly, though, it doesn't also turn into a coffee table.)

It's 40 years since the first Lomo camera went into production, a Russian copy of the Cosina CX-2. That simple model spawned a global art-centred Lomography movement – which has now been embodied in the stylish and versatile Lomo’Instant Wide Glass.
