If you can’t sleep outside under the stars due to poor weather or deathly fear of bears, the Cosmos Bed from designer Natalia Rumyantseva is a pretty great substitute. The bed somewhat resembles an oblong hollowed-out egg with a piece missing. The top curves over the round sleeping area to provide a cozy little den to tuck into at night.

The ceiling of the Cosmos Bed is dotted with LEDs to simulate a real starry sky. The futuristic bed even features a mattress that can be adjusted to the slope of your choosing.

To further customize the sleeping experience, the bed has an audio system that can play soothing music or white noise to help you drift off to sleep. The same system acts as an alarm in the morning when you need to emerge from your cocoon. Theraputic and relaxing aromas can be released at your discretion – just another special touch that makes the Cosmos Bed the perfect place to catch your beauty sleep.

Kitchen back splashes are typically not the focal point of the room. But these made-to-order custom glass back splashes will steal the show in the heart of any home.

The British company Glass Splashbacks makes stunning back splashes featuring whatever color, shape or picture you desire. You also choose the thickness of the glass. The colors or pictures are printed directly onto the glass, giving the back splashes a vivid and bright appearance.

The glass used to create these bespoke works of art is toughened to make it able to withstand kitchen temperatures up to 220 degrees C (428 F), so there’s no worrying that the meal you’re cooking is going to crack the custom work of art.

Although they are undeniably beautiful, the products from Glass Splashbacks strike us as just a bit impractical. Unless you are accustomed to giving everything a thorough scrubbing after every meal you cook (and we aren’t), grease and other normal kitchen debris would accumulate quickly.

Pile of Sticks: Table Fits Together With no Glue or Fasteners

The Stand Table from designer Jakob Timpe fits together snugly without any glue or hardware, relying instead on the interaction of its own pieces to keep it together.

The table comes unassembled in a fabric case reminiscent of a compact paintbrush case. Eight bars of wood make up the table’s base: four for the legs and an additional four to support the tabletop. All together, the set weighs just 7.5 kg or about 16.5 pounds.

All of the pieces fit together via a series of slots. The tabletop-supporting bars fit through slots in the legs. When the bars are all assembled, the structure stands up on its own. But it doesn’t become complete until a top is added.

When the flat surface sits on the leg structure, its weight holds the entire table together. It can then be used as a dining table, a working table, a conference table or whatever else your needs may dictate.

The Stand Table can be customized to fit individual tastes. The legs come in locally-sourced ash wood or in a white finish. A tabletop is not included in the basic kit, but the designer has made available a particle board and melamine surface.

The entire table can be disassembled in a matter of seconds by simply taking the pieces apart and tucking them away. The legs take up very little space and the tabletop can be set flat against the wall until the surface is needed again. The Stand Table is available through Berlin design company Vondingen.
