      Fine Design? . . .I don't know. . .but pretty clever. I always wondered what could be done with these with the advent of the flash drive!

            That's a geeky piece of furniture. I still have Teva boxes full of those Zip floppies. Actually they started to become old with re-writable CDs and DVDs. Not using those anymore either.

            Now all I use to backup is TimeMachine (Mac) to HD's.

                    I think I would enjoy a bookshelf like this . . .if I had had a large empty white room with a wood floor to put it in and no other furniture around it. 😄

                        Yow! that is serious.

                          Great turntable! I saw this amp in my head when I looked at it. Quick rough model and I am still coming to terms with render settings (obviously)but I thought they would look cool together. Could even be Mono's so there would be two of them. I think that would look sweeet! The knobs are above the feet volume on off etc

                            That's perfect. Now I really do want to spin some vinyl.

                                Those images and an overview article in your link reminded me of Gaudi, and a book about him in which were some photographs of his inverted catenary studies using weights and fabrics as visualization models. I believe they were used in design of Familia Sagrada.

                                  I think he used inverted catenary curves.

                                    Ah Yes Gaudi.
                                    Here is a photo of one of his string models. I read somewhere once that the models were 1:10 scale, and the weight placed on the strings was 1/10,000 the load they would carry.

                                        The Izbushka (house, hut) of Baba Yaga. Built by Vasily Kozin, near St.-Petersburg, Russia.

                                        Baba Yaga is a hag or witch in Slavic folklore. She flies around on a giant mortar, kidnaps (and presumably eats) small children, and lives in a hut that stands on chicken legs. In most Slavic tales, she is portrayed as an antagonist; however, some characters in other mythological stories have been known to seek her out for her wisdom, and she has been known on rare occasions to offer guidance to lost souls. She often fulfills the function of donor; that is, her role is in supplying the hero (sometimes unwillingly) with something necessary to further his quest.
                                        According to Russian folklore, Baba Yaga dwells in a "cabin on chicken legs... with no windows and no doors". Baba Yaga herself usually uses the chimney to fly in and out on her mortar. The door sometimes appears at the other side of the hut; to see it, a hero should say "Hut, O hut, turn your back to the woods, your front to me" and thus force the cabin to turn around and reveal the door.

                                            Well some designs are for the birds, and Baba Yaga's house did have bird feet.
