Marbelous is a novel table embedded with a network tracks for steel marbles to traverse, moving from the table’s surface down through the legs.
The table was designed and built by Dutch designers Nathan Wierink and Tineke Beunders who go by the name Ontwerpduo.

A mathematical concept and natural phenomenon, fractals create never-ending patterns. These repeating patterns display at every scale – known as a self-similar pattern – starting off simple before growing progressively more complex.
At their inception, they were based on pure mathematics, but now their applications are seen in physics, chemistry, earth and geological sciences, engineering, and transport physics.
Just like the ornate Fabergé eggs that were produced in Russia in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, Beddard’s creations are incredibly detailed, with labyrinthine curves and lines snaking across each object’s many sides.
According to My Modern Met, the former physicist uses a formulaic method to create these digitally rendered three-dimensional models.

The Brain Cube is very simply a puzzle cube made out of Kraton, a squishy, brain-like material.
The goal is to match all the folds. It’s quite tricky, because it’s not as easily to spot what goes where.

Furniture maker Greg Klassen builds intricately designed tables and other objects embedded with glass rivers and lakes.
Inspired by his surroundings in the Pacific Northwest, Klassen works with edge pieces from discarded trees which he aligns to mimic the jagged shores of various bodies of water.
The pieces are completed with the addition of hand-cut glass pieces that appear to meander through the middle of each table.

The stalks these flowers are already dried up but their blossoms are preserved and kept fresh by the medical infusin bags.
The life-span of every living creature is limited. The infusion bags stand for the progress in medicine and the prolongation of human life. They somehow carry an ambivalent message as they refer to both death and life an the same time. Both states are immanent here.
To preserve the beauty of the flowers artifically with the help of the infusion bags points out man’s inclination to repress the fact having to die and to postpone death.
