Your kitchen sponge works hard and deserved a good night’s rest. Tel Aviv-based designers OTOTO (previously featured here) recently unveiled Clean Dreams, a delightful sponge holder that’s shaped like a bed frame, complete with two fluffy pillows and a sponge serving as the mattress. It also fits most other standard size sponges.

Clean Dreams will be available later this month. Visit the OTOTO website for additional info.

Bees are awesome! British tea brand Taylors of Harrogate knows this too, because they have bees to thank for helping them create their fruit and herbal teas. So they built “The Grand Beedapest Hotel” and created this delightful video in the style of The Grand Budapest Hotel to help raise awareness of how important bees are and how much they deserve our help. 

“Bees are so important in helping to provide great flavour, but less attention has been paid to show how urban areas can be made more pollinator-friendly. The aim of the bee hotel is to not only educate and entertain, but to also inspire action,” said Kate Halloran of Taylors of Harrogate. 

Visit The Grand Beedapest Hotel website to further explore this awesome hotel.

Today the Department of Miniature Marvels is enjoying these itty-bitty dwellings from the Micro Matter series by Amsterdam-based artist Rosa de Jong. She uses traditional model-making materials to create exquisitely detailed trees, buildings, tree houses, and even teeny-tiny tents, each so small that they’re suspended inside glass test tubes.

Visit Rosa de Jong’s Behance portfolio to check out more of her Micro Matter sculptures. If you’re interested in purchasing one of these pieces, sign up for an e-mail alert here.
