The cutting-edge science of bio-inspiration gives way to architectural and product designs that mimic intricate mechanisms found in nature. In Peter Forbes's engaging book we discover that the spiny fruits of the cocklebur inspired the hook-and-loop fastener known as Velcro; unfolding leaves, insect wings, and space solar panels share similar origami folding patterns; the self-cleaning leaves of the sacred lotus plant have spawned a new industry of self-cleaning surfaces; and cantilever bridges have much in common with bison spines.
As we continue to study nature, bio-inspiration will transform our lives and force us to look at the world in a new way.

Only room for one bottle in this.
Color: Black, Color: Black
This works great but is too small. I keep a container of eyeglass cleaner in addition to dish detergent and hand soap.
There isn’t any other logical place to keep the eyeglass cleaner but by the sink and it will sit bedside this sponge holder.
