What if you are a furniture maker and there is a plane have crashed nearby of your facility. What would you do? Profit!

Ok, ok! I’m kidding, of course. Yet all the planes’ parts MotoArt furniture design studio is using in their works are 100% real, those parts come from a scrapheap (or better to say - from a plane graveyards). Just like Boeing 747 engine covers in these fancy “Italian style” bed on a picture above and the shiny office tables on the pictures further:

On of the most renowned bike grown deep inside the tree is the Vashon Island bike. Back in the 1914, when the first of the XX century’s deadly Word Wars flooded the Europe in blood, someone tied this bike to a little tree, joined the forces in Europe and never came back.

Pharmaceuticals companies like Pfizer (Viagra manufacturer) are taking advertising really seriously. When they say that the lion share of the pills price you pay is going to cover their investments in research, development and testing of the thousands of the new drugs they are - well, not lying - they aren’t telling the whole truth. And the truth is that a lot of money you pay for your pills is being spent on every kind of advertisement available on a market. Even for such renowned drugs like Viagra. And here is a very little example - the large Viagra pill shaped chunk of soap from Pfizer Pharmaceuticals. More photos here, at Paradoxoff Planet:

This picture that looks strangely fascinating, frustrating and scarry in the same time isn’t a scene from a kinki sci-fi movie about shadow government ruling the world with the help of finely craftyed mechanical golems. This is actual photo from the Popular Science magazine (issue Jan, 1964). It depicts two technicians preparing mechanically animated caveman figure for the exhibition at the 1964/1965 New York World’s Fair. More photos from the Popular Science here:

New Technologies, Old Habits

For a hundred years by now apt and frugal people were using old newspapers to wrap the books and protect them while reading outside on a plain air or during a trip.

The times are changing. And technologies, they are changing too. But the human habits, those are remaining. If you are not sure about weather conditions outside or how clean your hands will be during the trip, do the same your grandparents did – wrap your fancy e-ink electronic book reader in an old newspaper.

Magic Tap

Here at Paradoxoff Planet we have wrote about “Magic Tap” fountains not so long ago. But I have found another great example today. And it seems it’s quite old.

It works the same way as the previously posted fountains: the tap itself is held in the air by the steel pillar hidden inside the falling water. As you can see there is no magic here, just a lot of creativity and imagination.
