Growing plants traditionally requires a pot with a fertilized soil in it in order for the plants to grow healthy. However, it seems like this tradition requirement will be eliminated already because designer Gabriela Mombach has her futuristic flower pot called the Broto that needs not to be filled with soil in order for the plant to grow. The broto is equipped with an artificial LED lightning to take care of your plant and it also has an autonomous system that displays the measurement of pH, temperature, nutrients and humidity. This techie and futuristic flower pot can be the answer to those who wants to grow plant indoor but do not want to deal with dirt. - via

Swarovski is a known crystal used in various accessories like jewelries. However, using it in a bathroom fixture is amazing.

If I will be given the chance to own one of these faucets, I will definitely place it in the bathroom where I used very seldom so that the Swarovski crystal won’t torn out right away. Since the crystals are embedded maybe I could have it embedded following my initials. - via

The cultural anthropologist Gordon Huse said that there are two customs characterized in our lives – sitting on a chair, or sitting on the ground. For centuries, the Japanese have sat on the ground (the ‘za-seat’). The mixture of the meditated style of yoga from India and the religious training from China influenced this custom. After Dogen brought Soto Zen to Japan, the tatami mat became associated with the traditional tea ceremony, and has always been used throughout Japan for this custom. If you like, think of tatami as a philosophy of sitting.
And the Tatami Flight Chair and Bench Sofa are a modern interpretation of this philosophy. The frame – available in both light or dark bamboo – has tatami as the seating base and kimono fabric as its backing. The tatami base concentrates one’s attention on thought, and allows for peace of mind in meditation. And no extended periods of sitting on the ground are required!
