Bold and Bulbous: The Pod Collection Flaunts Its Curves
Inspired by bulging pods found in nature, Shanghai-based design studio One Week designed a seating collection that mimics this naturally rounded shape. The Pod Collection consists of a single armless seat, a single seat with armrests, and a two-seater sofa with armrests. The common denominator between all three seats is their organic, bulbous shape that makes up the backrests and arms.
While the pods in nature have seeds encased in them, these pod seats are made of high-resilience sponge, providing the user a soft and comfortable experience. The collection is clad in Kvadrat 3D-knitted fabric, a material made of 68% new wool, 22% nylon, and 10% polyester. Not only is this fabric soft to the touch, it also meets the needs of the collection’s rounded forms.
For more information on the Pod Collection, visit oneweek-design.com.
Photographer Cursed Out for Refusing to Send Wedding Photos Until She’s Paid
A photographer has taken to the ever-popular AITAH subreddit to ask whether she is the proverbial backside for refusing to hand over wedding photos until she is paid.
The photographer, who goes by Belle0910, explains that she is a 24-year-old female who stepped in for a friend after their wedding photographer canceled the night before the wedding.
Belle says that it was her brother-in-law who told her about the situation and asked if she would help and that she would be paid by a certain date.
“I agreed and traveled four hours with my camera and laptop up to this wedding venue to take photos for the bride and groom,” explains Belle.
Belle says she later found out that she wasn’t being paid until much later than agreed and, clearly disgruntled, she decided to withhold the photos.
“I then explained this to my friend and he was unaware of a date being set for payment and only the amount until I’d showed him that part of the conversation we had between each other,” writes Belle.
“So now I’ve been called an as*hole for refusing to send any photos over until payment has been made in full by the given date but everyone’s already been using my photos quite happily for profile pictures and cover photos from the few I had already sent over.
“I feel the whole situation is about to put a divide between me and my friend when I don’t want it to but am I the Ahole for refusing to send any more photos until payment has been made or am I overreacting?”
Belle’s post received 5,000 upvotes and nearly 1,000 comments with the majority of people judging her to be “Not the A-hole.”
Many on the thread suggested Belle send her friend the photos with huge watermarks on them or as tiny thumbnails that can’t be enlarged.
“As a former professional tog, I feel your pain here. No, you are NTA. Family, friends, strangers, whomever is asking for images without paying is NOT entitled to those images,” writes one Redditor.
“They’re your photos, and you own the rights to them to do as you wish. Please, please don’t distribute those images without getting full payment, if you do it once, it’ll be expected again and again and again.”
In August, PetaPixel reported on a photographer who deleted their cousin’s wedding photos after their relative refused to pay.

Lively Blooms Suffocate Under Acrylic in Ant Hamlyn’s Pressed Sculptures

Thorny roses, toxic bluebells, and the carnivorous Venus flytrap are pinned beneath sheets of acrylic in the works of Ant Hamlyn. The London-based artist (previously) continues his herbarium-style sculptures that consider the human impulse to pick and preserve flowers. Vivid specimens at the height of life are squashed under the synthetic material, appearing supple, lively, and in the midst of suffocation.
In his latest body of work, Love, Death & Velvet, Hamlyn incorporates velvet alongside shiny, inflatable plastic. The soft, smooth fabric is an expensive, laborious textile historically accessible only to the wealthy, and using it for forget-me-not petals and colorful bouquets adds questions of value and comfort to the simultaneously playful and menacing sculptures. “The tactile act of hand stitching, stuffing, and squashing can either be seen as preservation or destruction,” the artist said recently. “Similarly to nostalgia, on one side remembering a fond place or memory, on the other, longing for a time that can never be replaced. I like the idea that my works have this melancholy twist.”
Love, Death & Velvet will open on October 20 at Yusto/Giner in Madrid. Until then, find more of Hamyln’s work on his site and Instagram.

WAUSAU, Wis. (WSAW) – Monday, Oct. 9 is known as Indigenous Peoples’ Day and to celebrate, the Central Wisconsin Indigenous Peoples’ Day Committee is holding a Pow Wow and Native American Art Market this weekend.
