Swedish designer Henrik Amberla is known for many things and most importantly it is his Milky Way alarm clock that walks away with all the trophies. Thanks to the turning motion, it triggers a snooze function and the other way around makes it turn on the alarm function or set the time.
It comes with an extremely smooth and sleek look and when you wonder why it has been named the Milky Way, the design makes it pretty apparent. It reflects the duality of life and also of the day. The day beginning to change into a night and the night turning into day is reflective of the way the Milky Way behaves too. With a design that mimics the Milky Way, you can even use the Milky Way Alarm Clock to encourage your space voyage dreams that may take you far beyond our solar system.

People have always been fascinated by insects much as they hate them. Most of us dread the thought of walking into a hornet’s nest or even the slightest presence of a mosquito can rustle up our primeval fear of insects which is quite evolutionary in nature. Chinookhugs at Etsy has designed some amazing insect inspired jewelry which are made from solid 18 carat gold and brilliant diamonds.
These insect jewellery are reminiscent of art movements such as art nouveau, retro and are quite steampunk and gothic in nature. The 18 carat Gold moth comes with 8 diamonds and very old amber from the prehistoric times, which makes the jewellery far more attractive than regular and boring jewellery you might find in ritzy places like Paris or London. Platinum Beetles, Gold Insects, moths etc are made of rubies, diamonds, blue diamonds and sapphires.

The Emotion Lab’s Inside Urban Collection is something to gasp at in wonder. The style, the aesthetics and the functionality makes the line really cool and admirable.
The Space Divider belongs to that collection and it helps to serve as a barrier to people if they are in danger of stepping on something dangerous, like an open hole. Moreover, the Space Divider allows you to shift between see-through and opaque. If you need privacy when you are doing something, you could use it with the shutters and if you want to show off or create a sort of intimacy, you could leave it open and not shut the shutters.
