Who says desks have to be stationary? Why not have a desk that you can wheel around at will? This way if you want to sit by a window one day or cower in the dark another you can move your desk to wherever your mood takes you.

Battle-Rig Pro gamer’s workstation

By Chris Davies on Thursday, Oct 18th 2007 2 Comments

Looking for all the world like a giant, red Pacman that’s midway through eating your PC, this monstrosity is in fact the Battle-Rig Pro, a creation by German custom workstation manufacturer Master-Rig. Intended to lovingly, supportively surround you while you batter away at the keyboard and slaughter perfect strangers in prolonged bouts of online gaming, it’s basically a wooden storage frame around a Recaro chair.

Easy Chair Ghoul gives friends a heart attack so you can die of laughter

By Abby McVay on Monday, Oct 8th 2007 No Comments

Easy Chair Ghoul Every year around Halloween, I always want to spend thousands of dollars on the cool gadgets and turn my house into a haunted one. However, somehow over the years I have missed these ghouls that pop out of different bits of furniture.

I must be slipping in my old age, I am all of 22 after all. I can’t believe with all of my Halloween browsing that I could have missed these bad boys. This Easy Chair Ghoul has a 6′3” ghoul that pops out of the chair. They also feature one that pops out of a dining table, a tv, a bed, a cabinet, a crib, as well as many many more. Some are skeletons or the girl off of the exorcist, but you get the idea.

If I were rich I’d have all kinds of these things laying around. Luckily for my 14 year old sister who likes to stay the night now and then, I’m not. To get the Easy Chair Ghoul it costs $2, 885 and for the most part all of the other models of that type stay right around that price.

Livit Fly – A hiding place for your projector screen

By Chris on Monday, Sep 24th 2007 No Comments

If you live in a small house or apartment, you need to take advantage of as much wall space as possible. Unfortunately, your entertainment center generally takes up the bulk of an entire wall. What if you got rid of your TV and installed a projector and screen? The projector would be much smaller, but you’ve still got to deal with the screen. Perhaps you could hide it away somehow.

Childrens puzzle table looks kinda cool and is functional

By James Allan Brady on Friday, Sep 21st 2007 No Comments

Remember those little cheap 3×3 square slider puzzles you used to get when you were a kid? The ones where it was all scrambled up and you had to move them around to form the image, and they would always jam up and break, yeah those, but in a table.

There are actually nine storage compartments underneath each of the panels. The easy sliding mechanism should keep it from jamming up like the cheap generic plastic ones from your childhood. The designer is Robin Dashnaw, and since its just in its prototype stages, no price or availability.

DIY Daft Punk disco-floor table

By Chris Davies on Thursday, Sep 20th 2007 No Comments

My plans for a luxury lifestyle are constantly scuppered by not having more than a few pennies to my name, so I’m forced to admire stunning pieces of modern design through the shop windows (before I’m moved on by the police) rather than in the comfort of my own home. That’s why it’s so good to see a DIY version of furnishings store Habitat’s Daft Punk-designed LED disco table. For around €325 the writer of this Instructable put together his own mini dancefloor (though you probably wouldn’t be safe to clamber up on it) which looks, to my greedy eye, a pretty good facsimile of the original.

I’m sure you’ve heard the expression, one man’s trash is another man’s treasure. Some people really take that saying to heart, such as the Yumi Modal who makes some of the coolest Sci-Fi statues made from scrap metal.

Bookinst – Take your favorite reading chair everywhere

By Chris on Monday, Sep 10th 2007 1 Comment

Reading a book is about the most low-tech thing a person can do. Unless you’re reading some kind of book on technology, that is. I’m one that likes to kick back with a good book and relax at the end of the day. I have my favorite spot that I usually sit, and my book is almost always there waiting for me. However, for those of you that don’t like reading in the same spot everyday, there’s the Bookinst.

CEDIA 2007 – Cuddle Bags look comfortable

By Chris on Friday, Sep 7th 2007 15 Comments

I remember when I was younger, my favorite seat in the house was my trusty beanbag. If I could just lounge in that all day and play my Nintendo, I was set. Now I’m what some people might call a “responsible adult”and I no longer have a beanbag, as one might think it was tacky. However, if you long to have a beanbag that doesn’t look like one, you should check out these Cuddle Bags.
