Tel Aviv architect Kedem Shinar drew on Israel's Bauhaus architecture and her training in Japan to create the clean lines of this bright white house in Carmey Yossef The 350-square-metre residence is set on a plot surrounded by pine, cypress and olive trees in Carmey Yossef, a settlement between Tel Aviv and Jerusalem. For the design, Shinar took her cues from the International Style developed at the Bauhaus – the renowned German art school that ran between 1919 and 1933. Over 4,000 Bauhaus-style buildings were constructed in Tel Aviv between 1920 and 1940, according to the city's Bauhaus Centre. Gridded glazing, suspended porches and concrete give CY House a semi-industrial aesthetic, and reference the Bauhaus school building in Dessau. "The design idea, which draws inspiration from Japanese architecture, the De Stijl style and local Bauhaus architecture, was to merge the light and the landscape with the space of the house by using an interplay of walls and openings,"

London designer Michael Anastassiades has created a range of wine glasses that have to rest inside metal bowls in order to stand up.Designed for French silverware company Puiforcat, the Sommelier Collection includes glasses in various shapes and sizes for different types of wine, a matching carafe, and a range of stands and coolers. Cyprus-born Anastassiades, best known for his minimal lighting designs, worked with sommelier Enrico Bernando to create the wine glasses.   Each has faceted sides and a pointed bottom, which means they can only stand upright when placed into accompanying metal supports."On the table, anchored to their stand, the glasses are perfectly stable," said Puiforcat. "Laid down outside the stand, they sway softly for a few seconds before finding a new balance."Superduperstudio produced a set of "spillproof" wine glasses with similarly shaped bases so they rest at an angle when knocked over.   The thin bowls that support the glassware in
