Tiny Baobed Treehouse is a Cocoon-Like Sleeping Pod for Adventure Seekers
The cocoon-like Baobed treehouse is a tiny sleeping capsule designed for adventure seekers that like waking up in exotic places. This small retreat can be suspended among tree branches, supported on a carrier, placed on a beach, a rooftop, near a river or even in the middle of a pond. Baobed’s oval shape was inspired by exotic fruit that dangles from the branches of baobab trees, known as the “tree of life,” characteristic of African landscapes.
Hinduism
About Hinduism: Oldest of the world's major religions. It evolved from the Vedic religion of ancient India. Though the various Hindu sects each rely on their own set of scriptures, they all revere the ancient Vedas, which were brought to India by Aryan invaders after 1200 BC. The philosophical Vedic texts called the Upanishads explored the search for knowledge that would allow mankind to escape the cycle of reincarnation. Fundamental to Hinduism is the belief in a cosmic principle of ultimate reality called Brahman, and its identity with the individual soul, or atman.

Tea-time – Tea Steeper Design by Pengtao Yu
Timely Steeping I am in love with the Tea-time tea steeper for its intuitive design and simplistic interaction between tea leaves, water and steeping time!
