Tilt by German designer Tina Schmid is a morphing object, moving from a flat graphic on the wall to a three-dimensional object.

Both objects boast an ingenious system of rods with jointed nodes that can be rotated as needed.

Get meta with the Trophy hanger, a bike rack made of bike parts. Part art, part utility, this creation from Etsy seller Furniply lets you rest your bicycle atop some soft grip bike handlebars.

Plantrellis Using chicken wire to support growing vines is a thing of the past thanks to these sleek wire trellises set inside concrete planters.

The fence surrounding the property consists of wire mesh that will become a visual screen as it is overtaken by ivy, and gabion walls that contrast with the sleek materiality of the architecture.

The long hallways do as much to delineate the home's space as the windows do. A pair of Wire series chairs for Knoll by Warren Platner add a space-age modern feel to the home's leafy vibe.

The Weiners’ first stab at a decorative green roof went awry when workers installed the fabric membrane incorrectly; the plants didn’t thrive, and soil leached down the drain, causing a backup in the yard below. But with the help of an artist friend—–and avid gardener—–they successfully brought a piece of cultivated wildness, including hardy flora like creeping thyme, honeysuckle, hops, and kiwi, to their roof.

Coat Hanger Art by Colgate Searle ($120.00 for set of three) text “ColgateDogs” to 767825 (portal) text “ColgateDog” to 767825 (portal) $50.00 for one "At Subports we're on a daily mission to simplify who and what we are; it can be a struggle, and it's all in an effort to get to the heart of what our core message is. The act of stripping away and getting to that core message is one that every great artist has perfected. In our opinion, someone who has achieved this art of simplification is Colgate Searle.
