The Japanese decided that their tiny bonsais should be not only cute but cool, too, so they made them float in the air like magic.
The designers at The Hoshinchu Team named their creation “Air Bonsai.” It consists of the bottom half called the “energy base” and the floating ball – the “little star.” Both halves have magnets installed so that the “little star” could float with the bonsai on top.
The base is made of traditional Japanese porcelain and the bonsai can be replaced with any other plant, if you will.
The Air Bonsai, a system for magnetically levitating small bonsai trees several inches above a small electrified pedestal. The system allows you to create your own miniature Avatar-like worlds with tiny trees or shrubs planted in balls of moss, but is also powerful enough to suspend special ceramic dishes of fragments of lava rock.
Bonsai culture is huge in Japan, which is what inspired Hoshinchu to create Air Bonsai. The atelier, based on the island of Kyushu in southern Japan, created a unique, DIY floating bonsai setup that kind of reminds us of a much cooler version of the levitating tops we’re all familiar with. Each Air Bonsai uses an “energy base” to levitate and spin the top half “little star,” which is where you transplant your foliage of choice (plants, pines, mosses, etc.). The “little star” is available as a moss ball or a lava rock depending on your desired aesthetic, and there’s even a completely handmade “energy base” if you want something that’s absolutely unique.

![Dancing Babies Funny Video Commercial by Evian Commercial
Evian, owned by Danone, has been producing bottled water since in 1879 in Evian-le-Bains • Nowadays Evian water is marketed to adults as a premium brand, making the connection of Evian water with a healthy lifestyle • To maintain its status several limited editions of the bottles have been made by high-end designers like Jean Paul Gaultier and the Haute Couture Limited Edition designed by Christian Lacroix (opposite) • But in 1935, Evian was first marketed as being the water mothers should use in powdered milk solutions for babies • In 2009, this campaign was reborn in a slightly different guise
An Evian executive told Adweek the company’s baby connection is part of its history.
“The love affair of the brand with babies started in France in 1935, when Evian was first recommended as a perfect water for babies. It is still today the No. 1 water used by mothers for their babies [thanks to its pH-neutral mineral composition]. So fundamentally, there is a true link, it is not a marketing trick,” Laurent Houel, global brand director for Evian, told the trade publication.
In this commercial from the water company, adults see themselves as babies in their reflections and an epic dance party ensues. The video has racked up more than 13 million views since it went live on YouTube. Dancing Babies Funny Video Commercial by Evian Commercial](https://i.ytimg.com/vi/Pph3gPVzKWg/mqdefault.jpg)
