Slip-In Cup Holder – Organize your cabinets in one step

Christina Crouch, Dec 6th 2007 Discuss [0]

My cabinets are a mess I’ll admit it. I have way too many cups and glasses for the amount of space I have. Granted I’d like new cabinets but a simple, hassle free tool would also come in handy. Something like the Slip-In Cup Holder is perfect for someone like me, and I’m sure someone like you too. Its genius is in its simple design. No tools necessary just slip it onto your shelf and voila instant cup holder. It’ll hold up to a dozen cups and gives you room not only between the racks but underneath as well. Since it is so simple, the price is easy to afford too, just $8. This is a perfect solution to cramped cabinets and would also make a nice gift/gesture to anyone you know who lives in a small space and needs more room. Slip-In Cup Holder [via coolest Gadgets]

Sit N Joy – It floats, it totes, and strokes

Christina Crouch, Dec 5th 2007 Discuss [1]

When I look at the Sit N Joy I can’t but think Astone, its creators, were sitting around going “you know what I like, swimming, get a massage and listening to music…if only there were a way to combine all three!!”. Even if that’s not how it went down it’s still the result they got. Read The Full Story

The Nintendo Wii inspired cabinet

Abby McVay, Nov 27th 2007 Discuss [0]

There is nothing quite like the geek furniture that is produced from games. Some of it is a bit more small and subtle and then others are completely impossible to blend in with the average home. This Wii cabinet may be a bit out there, but for die hard fans it's perfect. Read The Full Story

Protean Chair – A Chair to Suit Your Moods

Christina Crouch, Nov 26th 2007 Discuss [0]

Chairs don’t normally come with many options. You can get some that recline or massage which is nice, but the Protean Chair offers a few different and inventive ideas. Designer Justin Porcano’s Protean Chair gives you various options for sitting with company. This multi-useable chair can morph into a loveseat with two end tables, two seats that share a middle table or even two seats that face each other for a better conversation atmosphere.

Bright Blind – The Faux Window

Christina Crouch, Nov 26th 2007 Discuss [1]

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. Read The Full Story

E-mood Furnitrue Range – Fashion for your Facility

Christina Crouch, Nov 26th 2007 Discuss [0]

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. Read The Full Story

The Caterpillar Bench

Christina Crouch, Nov 23rd 2007 Discuss [0]

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. Read The Full Story

Radiating Heat – Making use of the extra heat

Christina Crouch, Nov 13th 2007 Discuss [0]

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.

Customisation delays Microsoft Surface delivery

Chris Davies, Nov 9th 2007 Discuss [0]

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. Read The Full Story

Eclipse Office Partitioning System is private workstation concept

Chris Davies, Nov 2nd 2007 Discuss [1]

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. Check out a video of the cubicle concept after the cut Read The Full Story

Renegade Gaming Chair – Everything you need, including a vibrating massage

Chris Scott Barr, Nov 2nd 2007 Discuss [1]

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? Read The Full Story
