Front Door Design of the Day: This breathtaking marvel of modern design was custom-made for an Indian diamond merchant (natch) out of 40 individual sections of Burma teak.

Each section is carved so that the door integrates 160 pulleys, 80 ball bearings, a wire-rope and a counter weight hidden within the single pivot.

Stacked one above the other in the closed position, each plank can then rotate by a simple push causing the door to reconfigure into a sinusoidal curve.

The door was one of four Architectural Review Emerging Architecture Award winners, a prize which honors “the best pieces of design by young architects from across the world.” Well deserved to say the least.

Love these custom Alphabet Pillows that Hilary Cosgrove makes from recycled suit-jackets. As she says, some will have buttons, some will have a pocket, all retro awesome tweeds, herringbones and checks.

Also check out her sweet owl pillow.
