French designer Jean Jullien designed this delightfully whimsical bird-themed rooftop bar in Nantes, France called Le Nid. It’s filled with all kinds of fun details like egg-shaped chairs and eyes that open and close.

Jullien on the project:

Located in Nantes ( France) it sits at the top of a 144m building called Tour de Bretagne and overlook the city and its surroundings. Inside the bar, a 40 meters long bird rests. The bar is located in its body, whilst his neck runs to the other end of the space, leading you to its massive head. His eyes opens and close regularly, as he falls asleep and wakes up. You can enjoy a drink in its egg shaped tables and chairs.

Giant Birdsnest by O*GE CreativeGroup

About:

The “Giant Birdsnest for creating new ideas” was conceived and created by O*GE as a prototype for new and inspiring socializing space, which can be seen as a morph of furniture and playground. Its powerful, yet simple concept and intriguing character needs no explanation or user manual: Ready to to be used, to be played in, and be worked in. With its 4.50 m diameter the big version can host up to 16 people at once, offering a comfortable and sensual soft space, various siting positions, configurations for informal meetings and social exchange.

Will Ryman’s Bird sculpture’s plumage isn’t soft like real feathers. It’s quite literally as hard as nails, a whole bunch of actual and fabricated steel nails. It can currently be seen on display at the Paul Kasmin Gallery along with some other extraordinary works he has built from ordinary and often counterintuitive objects.

Random acts of tree carving. These are two of three incredible sculptures that were left to be found in North Yorkshire, England by a talented but unknown artist. They were only recently discovered, but word has spread quickly and they have now become a tourist attraction. Find out more about them here
