An artist named Fredo has a knack for amazing 3D works of art, as demonstrated in his collection of pencil drawings. They are reminiscent of Escher drawings, but with a more modern take. What makes Fredo so unique is his use of physical objects to give life to his pieces. The intricate use of his medium requires patience and a talent like no other.

The Gothic backdrop used for the Natalia Mleczak ‘Monnari’ photo series perfectly accents the dark, sultry and glamorous vibe evoked by both the photographer and model. Although each shot is a closeup of the brown-haired beauty, the dramatic setting plays a huge role in setting the mood.

20. Disemboweled Furniture

I have never seen a chair that looks quite like The Loop Chair. This chair was designed by Dutch design student Sophie de Vocht as a hybrid chair/rug.

The Loop Chair is made out of 1,000 feet of yarn, wrapped around wired mesh. More than half of the chair lies sprawled out on the floor, while the other half is more put together and has a more conventional look.
