Infinity bath by Aleksander Mukomelov

From the outside this bath tub concept by Aleksander Mukomelov has a minimalist touch to it, but if you check out the functions that are built into this thing, it’s not so minimalist after all. There is a media console, which lets you select music, adjust the water jets and even make a selection from an integrated aromatherapy. For more details and photos see the Behance project site.

Have a look at these gorgeous black & white globes by Japanese designers Nendo. They all come suspended in a white steel ring and stand and are available in various diameters.

“…We were also interested in creating a new kind of globe that would be more emotional, rather than simply presenting information. By reducing the amount of information, and rendering the oceans in white and landmasses in black, the corona globe highlights the reliefs of islands and coastlines. …”

I would like to start off the new year by presenting you this sleek mag frame, designed by Japanese designer Shigeichiro Takeuchi.

“This magazine rack consists of a single rod and a single plate.　Because the plate is pitched on angle, you can easily slide out any magazines with one hand. Also, this rack can be carried around.”
