Top 65 Modern Ideas in November

From Abstract 3D Paintings to Rice Ball Seating

— November 9, 2014 — Eco
The collection of November 2014 modern ideas appear to go hand in hand with surreality. Although the concept of 'modern' is often associated with minimalism and function, the addition of whimsy and imagination shows that people are gravitating towards lives that border on the line of fantasy as well. This tug-of-war between surreality and reality finds a beautiful balance in this collection of November 2014 modern ideas.

Included in these November 2014 modern ideas are elaborate architectural cat shelters, which were designed for charity. Another modern idea revolves around paintings that personify colorful clouds of ink. While some of the November 2014 modern ideas are created purely for aesthetics, other ones put a whimsical twist on furniture, architecture and even technology.
