Axiom's space station will initially be connected to the International Space Station, orbiting the earth.
Axiom's station will be attached to the front node of the ISS, allowing for amazing views of the earth.
It will also have the largest window observatory ever made for space, according to Axiom.

When the ISS is retired within the next ten years, the Axiom station will detach and operate independently.
Like the ISS, the station will have a crew and serve as a research lab.
As a comfort from home, it will also have WiFi.
Inside, Starck designed the modules to look like "a nest, a comfortable and friendly egg."
Each module has large windows to take in views of earth and space.
The padded walls have hundreds of nano-LEDs that change color, plus embedded touch screens and handles.

Supplies match the aesthetic of the modules.
Stark says the design will "feature materials and colors stemmed from a fetal universe."
"Our goal was not to create a copy of life on earth but to create the best environment for human beings in this infinite territory," Starck told Architectural Digest.

Starck also talked about the possibilities for new design principles in this new environment. "Life on Earth is held down by gravity, but life in space is a multidirectional freedom: There is no horizontal, no vertical, even no diagonal."
