Ping Pong Door – Great for small places

Chris Scott Barr, Oct 26th 2007 Discuss [2]

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. Read The Full Story

Diamond dust gets in your TV cabinet

Chris Davies, Oct 24th 2007 Discuss [0]

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.

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. Read The Full Story

Battle-Rig Pro gamer’s workstation

Chris Davies, Oct 18th 2007 Discuss [2]

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

Abby McVay, Oct 8th 2007 Discuss [0]

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. Easy Chair Ghoul lives under the seat [via newlaunches]

Livit Fly – A hiding place for your projector screen

Chris Scott Barr, Sep 24th 2007 Discuss [0]

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

James Allan Brady, Sep 21st 2007 Discuss [0]

Remember those little cheap 3x3 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. Read The Full Story

DIY Daft Punk disco-floor table

Chris Davies, Sep 20th 2007 Discuss [0]

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. Check out the video of the table in action, after the cut... Read The Full Story

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. Read The Full Story

Bookinst – Take your favorite reading chair everywhere

Chris Scott Barr, Sep 10th 2007 Discuss [1]

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. Read The Full Story

CEDIA 2007 – Cuddle Bags look comfortable

Chris Scott Barr, Sep 7th 2007 Discuss [17]

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. Read The Full Story
