Grass wheel
This project brings nature at you’re feet. If you don’t have enough time to enjoy a walk in the park you can roll over a grass carpet while getting to the office.

Street art
This statue can be found in front of the Ernst & Young building in Los Angeles, USA.
A kind of strange but interesting street art and one hard to forget “person”.
