Europe 24
This data visualization was created from real flight data. It shows the air traffic which flies on a typical summer day and highlights the intensity of the operation in Europe – an operation which runs 24x7x365.

A Fleet of 300 Illuminated Boats
The latest installation from Aether & Hemera in London’s Canary Wharf is this fleet of 300 illuminated boats called Voyage. Each floating light resembles an origami boat light from within.
Voyage will be up through February 15th, 2013, and viewing is best at night.

Swing Table
Designer Christopher Duffy presents his amazing Swing Table, created for Duffy London.
Putting a little extra fun into dinner time and boardroom meetings, this four poster table uses its structure to suspend a central GEO lampshade and eight hanging chairs that sway playfully.

The Swing Table is made from Walnut from Stewardship Council managed forests and other controlled sources and powder coated mild steel. It is available in bespoke finishes and sizes and is priced at £6,895. For more information, visit Duffy London.
