Floppy Disk Table
Cool: A hot-rolled and stainless steel table fashioned to look like a floppy disk. Cooler: The metal guard plate on it slides back to reveal a secret storage space. Holy crap. I am nearing giddiness watching the GIF on...
Cocoon 1 - Bubble Abode
The Cocoon 1 is for that sort of selfish kind of privacy people seek. The kind that means no one can bother or make any demands of them, but they can still watch and hear and pass judgment on what's going on with everyone...
Zero Day Bed
"Simplicity is resolved complexity." So says architect, designer, sculptor, and creator of the Zero Day Bed, Jorge Goval. The indoor-outdoor lounger and sleeper subscribes to nature's tropism phenomenon--the adaptive...
Floating Tablecloth
It seems that until the rest of us figure out how to consistently conquer and defy gravity like David Blaine, floating objects will enjoy a comfortable niche in the market of cool crap. Floating mugs, floating lamps...
Liquid Lava Tabletops
Lamps and nightlights no longer have the corner on the lava market. Jockimio's Liquid Lava Tabletops comprise two sheets of polycarbonate sandwiching pleasingly vivid hues of liquid that swirl and lumber to the touch...
The Hanging Bed
I'm not easily impressed--well, unless a double muscled Belgian blue bull is involved--but the first words that come to mind as I check out Ben Riddering's Hanging Beds are "whoa," "dude," and "impressive." I especially...
Privacy Pop Bed Tent
It's about that time of year. The time that anyone with a new roommate starts to assess exactly how he or she feels about said roommate. Best bud, mortal enemy, tolerable nuisance, unfortunate insertion into the human...
The Talking Periodic Table of Swearing
Interdisciplinary exercises combine two or more distinct areas of study, and present them as one cohesive whole. In a world-class display of interdisciplinary art, The Talking Periodic Table of Swearing endeavors to entwine...
Swing Table
Sneaky employers. They'll try anything to make us think board meetings are fun. At least maybe with a Swing Table I could do a few passes and then feign motion sickness for an excuse to leave. Designer Duffy London mentions...
Backpack Sofa
Backpacking season is drawing to a close, but here's a ray of sunshine to keep you fueled through the harsh winter: Eastpak's Backpack Sofa, a rigid polyurethane foam and cordura concoction that promises to replicate...
Him & Her Chairs
All of their marketing literature stresses that the Him & Her Chairs are derivations of a curvy, seating-sculpture hybrid called the Vernor Panton Chair, but to me they look more like derivations of naked people. A Fabio...
Cloud Levitating Sofa
Though only a concept product--and one that debuted a few years ago--the Cloud Levitating Sofa remains maybe the coolest idea for and aesthetic execution of a couch ever. So I was thinking maybe one of you entrepreneurial...
Villain Chair
Being a villain isn't cheap. So, like most actors, rock stars, and former Presidents, villains raise funds for the administration of havoc and execution of attempts to rule the world by selling out. The Villain Chair...
Heat Sensitive Table Set
A few months ago, we featured Charles Lushear's reinvention of the cheap plastic, old-school NES controller into the rich, interwoven woods of his terrifically classy Working Nintendo Controller Coffee Table (and then...
Sofa Beasts
Italian designer Rodolfo Rocchetti has turned three menacing beasts of the jungle into living room sofas: the tiger; the panther; and, most nightmarishly of all, the cow. Moooooo. Ugh, who decided cows were acceptable...
Jet Beds
Oh boy. The magic of the sky meets the magic of where the magic happens. MotoArt, a group of daring-with-a-touch-of-devious mile-high artists, recycles old jet parts into exclusive, flashy pieces of furniture and home...
Podtime Sleeping Pods
When I look at Podtime's new collapsible Sleeping Pod, an extra cozy 3.9' wide x 6.9' long personal retreat and slumbering space for college students, or anyone else on a crusade to find efficient luxury, exactly two...
The Boxing Couch
If you get riled up watching your favorite team bone a play, your least favorite Presidential candidate rally for support, or another F'in cliffhanger on True Blood, imagine the agression and blood stains you can spare...
RoboChair - Folding Chair & Wall Art
With so many complex robots out there designed to perform intricate tasks, do our work for us, or destroy the world, how refreshing to find RoboChair, who wants to do only two things: look nifty hanging from our walls;...
OHEA Self-Making Bed
The desire to own an OHEA Super Bed transcends mere laziness because, I'm sorry, I don't care what kind of draught horse you are, making the bed is an enormous pain in the ass. Think of all the people who trip over themselves...
Tongue Chair
If it's possible to feel sorry for a chair, I feel sorry for the Tongue Chair. Sure, he's living the life when empty. People see him and grin, chuckle, momentarily forget they have three quarterly reports due in 10 minutes...
Mixtape Coffee Table
Man, the coffee table just keeps reinventing itself. It's like Apple or Target or Madonna before she turned into a self-important old shrew with man arms. Though it won't play "November Rain", "Purple Rain", or "Blame...
Airplane Engine Coffee Table
A US Army Boeing-Stearman PT-13 engine serves as the gleaming base for this glass-topped coffee table. Stearmans are prop planes that skyrocketed and peaked in use during WWII, after which they saw a sharp decline in...
Interactive LED Tables
I hope anyone who has one of these nifty Interactive LED Tables also has a few gallons of disinfectant on hand, because the two primary modes of interaction I foresee with their pressure-sensitive, illuminative surfaces...
