Come one, come all. Artists and art enthusiasts alike — Toxel.com is the site for you. Unlike many of our usual choices for site of the week, Toxel doesn’t really offer deals, discounts, tips, or advice. It’s a site that offers you a chance to view beautiful art and design.
Whether you are an artist or simply an enthusiast, one thing is for sure, the things you see on Toxel will open your mind to things you may not have ever imagined. You may be skeptical. You’ll probably scroll through the options on the right side of the main page reading all the different categories: bicycles, lamps, wallets, shampoo ads, skateboards, doors, business cards, etc. — the options are extensive ― and you will click on a random one expecting to be unimpressed. However, I’m willing to bet that at some point, you’ll find something that’ll blow you away.
Some things are incredibly practical and you’ll think, “Why didn’t I think of that?” like the Encanal Carving Board. Other things are so innovative, you will think someone owns a time machine and brought them back from the future, like the Coffee Table Fireplace. Others will simply leave you jaw-dropped from the sheer beauty of them, like the Minimal Staircase. Curious? You’ll have to check out the site and see with your own eyes.
Some of these items have links next to them where you can go and find out more about an artist or designer and possibly even purchase an item. Others are simply concepts that display an idea in the work or that showcase the expanse of human ingenuity and innovation. These designs could also serve as inspirations for you to go out and create your own designs and concepts.
Without any desire or inclination to define this Web site, I will just say that it is a playground for your imagination, and you should check it out and go play.
