Today we came across an interesting series of head sculptures from New York based artist Harris Diamant, available for sale through Obsolete. Encased in glass, Diamant’s head sculptures look to be inspired by Hannibal, although we’re not exactly sure what’s fueling the artist’s fire, especially given that he was born in 1937.

British artist/designer Stephen Newby works in a unique medium: blown stainless steel. Newby calls his work Full Blown Metals, and he’s applied his unusual medium to create a wide range of objects, ranging from radiators to garden sculptures.
With each piece Newby intends to “to soften and bring an organic, tactile quality clinically modern materials… and in doing so giving these materials a soul.” This has resulted in a number of crazy pieces, from which we’ve chosen a selection of our favorites to show you:
Pictured above is the “Soft Seat Chair.” In thumb one you’ll find the “Equity Table,” our favorite piece of furniture from Newby’s collection. In thumb two you’ll see the “Pillow Radiator,” which Newby designed for Bisque Radiators in 2006. Thumb three shows a water scultpure titled “Floating Pillows.” And, thumb four shows Newby’s “Ctube” concept sculpture design.
Available through: Full Blown Metals

After the 1998 war ended in Cambodia, the country’s government worked with officials from the European Union to destroy 125,000 weapons. A group called Draft, founded in 2003 by two Brits, got their hands on thousands of these weapons and started Peace Art Project Cambodia (PAPC) to turn these arms into art. The resulting sculptures feature AK barrels and handles, among other gun parts, and they are currently sold through The Art House gallery in Siem Reap, Cambodia. Prices start at around $600 for a basic Christmas tree shape and run over $10,000 for more complex works. We are a big fan. Although the prices strike us as a little steep.
