Wood may not seem like the best material for a bicycle, but considering how energy-intensive it is to process metals, wooden bikes seem like a more reasonably earth-friendly alternative, and may even be a better ride. Though we’ve seen no shortage of stylish wooden bikes, this sculptural beauty by Yojiro Oshima, a design student at Tokyo’s Musashino Art University, is quite the head-turner.
100 famous Italian designers each made a toy car out of one block of wood. There’s so much creativity and variety in the designs. These, like your kids, should get better with age!
Wow, is this the most beautiful wood floor you’ve ever seen? See how it is made here:
