Designed by Japanese architect Arata Isozaki, who teamed with British-Indian sculptor Anish Kapoor, the Ark Nova is touted as the world’s first inflatable concert hall. Kapoor is no stranger to inflatable structures, having created the Leviathan in Paris back in 2011. But that structure was designed to stay put inside the city’s Grand Palais, whereas the Ark Nova is designed to travel around Japan for the Lucerne Music Festival, visiting parts of the country still recovering from the tsunami.

We think it’s safe to say hashtags has taken over pretty much all of social networking as any network worth its salt supports hashtags, with Facebook even getting in on the hashtag love. But if you read someone’s update who uses a hashtag out loud, the concept of hashtags seems a little silly, especially if you’re the kind of person to use hashtags in real world conversations.

We have been told time and again that there is no such thing as a free lunch in this world, and I suppose you, as a responsible adult, will also need to reinforce this particular fact to the younger folks in this world who thinks that the universe owes them a living. The next time you want to give someone a present, try not to throw money in an envelope, but rather, how about making he or she work for the gift to gain a sense of satisfaction? That is what the $29.95 Puzzle-Pod Bank & Present Vault is all about.
The Puzzle-Pod Bank & Present Vault would come in the form of a password-locked device that holds the gift within, and once solved, it will open up so that the recipient will be able to gain access to the gift inside. The five letter code can be customized over and over again, and this makes sure that when you have outgrown this gift, it can be “recycled” for someone else – a younger relative, perhaps? A slot in the bottom allows you to use the Puzzle-Pod Bank & Present Vault as a bank as well. It does not look as though it will be able to hold up to blows from a hammer well though.

Airports administrators are always valiantly attempting to add some levity to the travel experience, god bless ’em. Yet in this ongoing quest for whimsy and spectacle, they’ve also managed to commission some of the world’s weirdest art.
