thomas heatherwick likes putting things on the ends of long sticks, to great effect

the 2012 London Olympic cauldron is undeniably beautiful. i didn't make the connection until later that the designer, thomas heatherwick, is responsible for some other breathtaking stuff on sticks. check out a slideshow of all the olympic cauldrons beginning with amsterdam in 1928
