'The New Decor' is an art exhibition currently on at the Hayward Gallery in London. The exhibit features 30 artists and is designed to explore "the evolution of interior and exterior environments." The artists have essentially created provocative installations from everyday household furniture or items.
I particularly love the roller coaster-resembling bed by Los Carpinteros. It looks like it would be such a blast to have a slumber party on, or even just to roll around in for a while. The New Decor looks like a fascinating exhibition.
