This week designers and architects created whale-shaped furniture and buildings This week on Dezeen, architecture and design looked to the ocean as whales informed the shape of both a wooden chair and a cultural building in China. We introduced our new Dezeen Lookbooks section, which features a selection of home interiors and design trends from Dezeen's image archive chosen by our editors. The aim is for the lookbooks to help designers and design lovers to find ideas and inspiration for interiors projects, whether it's for a living room, dining room, bedroom, kitchen or bathroom. In design news, two Icelandic design projects on Dezeen had new takes on traditional crafts. Designer Valdís Steinarsdóttir looked at ways of reusing waste products from the meat industry to create biodegradable vessels and food packaging that dissolves in water.
