I guess I’m rather lucky when it comes to cubicle settings, I just happen to have two windows in my view so I don’t know what it’s like to be “trapped in a cubicle”. However, I’m sure those of you who do will appreciate this prototype by Makoto Hirahara.
The Bright Blind gives you a sense of the outside world (Resident Evil anyone?) using electroluminescent sheets. And if your fake window is pouring in too much sunlight, a simple adjusting of the blind will turn it down for you.
If there is one room in the house where functional and practical take reign over style and class, it’s the bathroom. The bathroom, often small and cramped, needs space and outlets above all other things, aside from a toilet, sink and tub/shower that is. Duravit kept that in mind with its e-mood design and brought along a little style and class with it.
The e-mood furniture range is just about everything you could ask for in a bathroom accessory. It comes with all the lighting requirements, via touch LEDs, one may need in the bathroom and with its programmable mood lighting it also comes with all the lighting one may want in the bathroom. This includes a nightlight feature which turns on when it gets dark. You’ll also find a discretely placed tissue and soap dispenser, a cosmetic shelf and of course a hidden power outlet! You’ll also get the e-light element, e-wall fitted storage cabinet and a large illuminated glass e-screen.
It’s always been my opinion that seats should be comfortable and while this particular one looks a bit on the non comfortable side it’s bound to be a conversation piece. Particularly since it looks like a giant metal bug.
The Caterpillar Bench is polished cast aluminum and sports six pairs of “caterpillar” legs. It’s sold mostly as a three seat bench but can be modified to suit all your buggy needs.
Geeky furniture comes in all different forms. It even comes in the form of quirky bookshelves such as these. Featuring mathematical brackets they show the world what is most important to you.
Nothing makes a room less attractive then a bulky radiator which, despite their usefulness, are just plain ugly. You can’t really do anything with them and if they are in use you cant put anything on them, until now. Designer Byung-seok You has a decorative and clever way to spruce up your radiators.
The Natural Wave is a new kind of warming plate. The ceramic plate fits perfectly into the grooves of your radiator and will keep your drinks and snacks at a perfect temperature, especially on these up and coming cold nights. The Natural Wave is sure to make any room more inviting with warm treats at hand.
I was quite looking forward to seeing Microsoft’s Surface touch-sensitive table at one of the Vegas casinos come CES next January, but it turns out I may have to plan another visit in the Spring. Despite flaunting their clever multi-touch horizontal screen around hotels and leisure spots all over the world, and picking up more than 2,000 enquiries from a multitude of industry sectors, it turns out it’s actually harder to build than the company suspected. Now, instead of this month, early partners such as T-Mobile, Sheraton hotels and Harrah’s casinos will have to wait until around March or April 2008 before they take delivery.
Remember the Battle-Rig Pro? Intended as an enclosed workstation for avid gamers, it managed to look decidedly mediocre. Contrast that with this concept for a discrete, adaptable office cubicle by Marcus Ward Curran; although envisaged as living in the average office environment, the so-called Eclipse Office Partitioning System looks many times cooler – and, if it actually existed, would be far more useful – than Master-Rig’s efforts.

When you’re playing your games, where do you normally sit? If I’m rocking out to Guitar Hero, I’m usually standing up, otherwise I’m sitting on my couch. I’ve never really considered getting a special chair just for my gaming sessions, mostly because my couch is so comfortable. If you like to have your own special gaming chair, you might as well go all-out right?
When you live in a small house or apartment, you learn to get creative with the space you have. Naturally larger items such as ping pong tables just aren’t going to find their way into your place. That is unless you’re really creative about it.
I’m going to be blunt with you, kids: forget your dreams of hot girls (or boys), being showered with the admiration and respect of your peers and a glamorous lifestyle of the sort hitherto only known in a Snoop Dogg record. You’ve only truly made it in life when your TV cabinet has diamonds in it. For the trifling sum of €100,000 (a mere $143,000) you can have this Diamond storage unit from Flatlift. complete with pop-up TV, automated drawers, LED backlighting and 50-carat diamond dust.
