DC Shoes x UNKL Double Label Project | Graph & Sug
When DC decided to re-launch the Graph shoe, SUG caught wind of it and wanted to be a part of it. So, he contacted his mates at UNKL and suggested they do a limited edition glow-in-the-dark SUG figure and shoe combination package with DC. SUG has since become a big skateboarder, in fact at 7 foot 7, he may be the biggest skater on the planet. He is now cruising around his native Iceland rocking the only skate shoe he owns, a size 26 DC Graph. Only 450 DC X UNKL Double Label™ Graph and SUG packs were made and a pack will go for 260 USD.

$5000 Paper House
Swiss company The Wall AG has a perfect solution for third-world shanty towns, semi-permanent refugee camps and approximately 7.2% of adult Americans: paper houses!
This isn't mere papercraft—the Universal World House is a $5,000, 390-square-foot modular home, outfitted with plumbing and boarding facilities to support up to eight (eight!) residents each. The secret of its construction is its "paper" shell; the resin-soaked cellulose, made from recycled paper, is shaped into honeycomb walls, which provide structural integrity and insulation to the houses.
Aside from having a convertible closed/open-air kitchen with table and benches, the Universal World House has a hidden killer feature:
It has been designed so that a family can slaughter an animal on the veranda, wash it in the shower and hang it, along with fish, on an integrated washing line.
