Dre Wapenaar has created a very unique camping experience for those wanting something a little more exciting and different than the norm. The Dutch artist has designed four “Tranendreef” tree tents for visitors to partake in. These dangling balloon-shaped tents are found in Belgium’s Borgloon Forest.
Initially installed as part of “Pit,” a public art exhibition organized by contemporary art gallery Z33, Wapenaar’s creations are now accessible to the public and can hold two adults and two children.
The COVID-19 pandemic has forced many people and businesses to put more of a focus on cleanliness, and just as important, companies are taking innovation and technology to another level in terms of preserving health and well-being.
The C-Face Mask allows you to talk in multiple languages as well as being able to clean and purify the air you breathe. The mask is designed by Japan-based Donut Robotics and is made to fit on top of a standard face mask. In addition to translating multiple languages and purifying air, the C-Face mask can also connect to your smartphone, opening up even more smart features.

Aptly named ‘The Embassy,’ this mega mansion occupied by Toronto artist Drake is a 50,000 square ft, fully customized art piece.
With such amenities like an indoor basketball court sitting below a 21-square-foot pyramidal skylight, Drake’s domain puts a different spin on over-the -top. Canadian architectural and interior designer Ferris Rafauli is responsible for the design aspect as he worked closely with Drizzy to enforce his vision.
As one would expect, there is nothing thrifty about anything in Drake Manor as this home screams craftsmanship featuring limestone and other high-end materials such as bronze and exotic woods.
Because I was building it in my hometown, I wanted the structure to stand firm for 100 years. I wanted it to have a monumental scale and feel. It will be one of the things I leave behind, so it had to be timeless and strong.

Drake notes that his favorite room in the house is the astonishing 3,200-square-foot master-bedroom suite, accompanied by an additional 1,100 square feet of covered terraces.
The bedroom is where I come to decompress from the world at the end of the night and where I open my eyes to seize the day. The bed lets you float, the shower lets you escape and gather your thoughts, and the closet makes you want to talk to yourself while you’re getting dressed.
