iPhone Coffee Table With Coasters

Posted by Sheila Franklin Categories: Smart Home, Misc. Tech,

iPhone Table Some people are really obsessed with their iPhones. Tuan Nguyen, Ken Thomas and a few buds got together to create this unique coffee table in the shape of the Apple phone. The iLounge members made the furniture out of corrugated wood and glue. They also made built-in coasters out of the icons. We like the design and figure we can put it alongside our Pacman Living Room Set in the room with the Super Mario Wall Decals.

Math Lamp Requires An IQ

Posted by Patrick Phelps Categories: Design, Smart Home,

If you’ve graduated beyond elementary math, this wall lamp created by Mingyu Jeung will be happy to turn on for you after you solve a randomly generated equation. If math really isn’t your thing – or you run out of fingers to count on – the integrated chalkboard may be your new best friend (though I wonder how you would see what you were writing…). As far as we can tell, problems appear to be of the simple add/subtract/multiply/divide variety, but a clever prankster would throw in a random calculus problem just to keep you on your toes.

Poufman (Pacman) Living Room Set

Posted by Sheila Franklin Categories: Design, Smart Home, Video Games,

For fans of Pacman, the Poufman Living Room Set should be a staple. Made of wood, polyurethane, and elasticized fabric, the modules are interchangeable and can be arranged in many ways or more can be added to create a larger seating area. The lining is removable for further exchange and decoration. Available in white, black, turtledove, and dark red, the set was made by the Italian company Qayot. Contact them if you would like your own set of the pop culture chompers.

FAK3 Elliptical Wooden Cabinet

Posted by Sheila Franklin Categories: Design, Smart Home,

The firm FAK3 designed this very unique piece of furniture. The Elliptical Wooden Cabinet rotates 360º with sides that house a keyboard, desk, storage center, and TV. It is made with industrial strength ball bearings that can support up to 2 tons. Large as it is, it only takes one finger to rotate the cabinet. Because it has an off-centered axis, when the unit turns, each side is has its own design. We want one!

If you working on a fine-looking home entertainment center, you should also consider an appropriate piece of furniture house your movies. Michael Singer designs one of a kind pieces such as this DVD Storage Cabinet. At a size of 80 x 25 x 16-inches, it is built of mahogany, maple, and wenge, with inlays of copper and ritzy abalone. That makes for a lot of video storage. It’s easy to see why the man wins awards for his craftsmanship. Contact Michael to acquire this or another of his fine pieces.

iBose Egg Chair

Posted by Sheila Franklin Categories: Design, Home Entertainment, Smart Home, Misc. Tech, Music,

The iBose Egg Chair has to be considered sound to the max. It features a Companion 3 subwoofer and a satellite speaker system with THD <.001. Four JBL OnTour speakers are each 17-inches and are accompanied by 4 fusion 6.5-inch midwoofers. In addition, 3 amps have Airport Express to let you stream Wireless-G or Ethernet from any PC with iTunes. Top it off with a Onkyo home theater receiver and you have one heck of an entertainment center.

Kenneth Lylover Surf Chair

Posted by Sheila Franklin Categories: Design, Smart Home, Misc. Tech, PC / Laptop,

Kenneth Lylover created his Surf Chair for the “Internet Collection” competition at the Scandinavian Furniture Fair recently. It’s easy to see why he managed to nab the Best Product award. The arc-shaped chair has a built-in LCD display, a mouse and keyboard for the user’s lap, and a padded frame for comfort. We think it is a fine idea for couch potatoes who want to go the extra mile with their Net searching or those who work best in a semi-horizontal position.

A Rubiks Cube-esque Wall Clock

Posted by Lolita Beckwith Categories: Accessories, Smart Home, Misc. Tech,

It’s retro chic, it’s DIY…and it’s 100% cool. It’s the Do It Yourself Cubic Wall Clock, which we think bears more than a passing resemblance to the ever-maddening Rubik’s Cube. Just make sure the block with the clock hands is in the center… and the rest of the design is totally up to you! Comes with 12 self-adhesive colored plastic cubes that measure approx. 2.5 x 2.5”. Requires 1 AA battery. Perfect for the Rubik’s fanatic (we know you’re out there!), 80’s-lovin’ types or to just to add some major pizazz to your home. Available for approx. $70 USD.

Bed Makes Itself

Posted by Sheila Franklin Categories: Design, Smart Home, Misc. Tech,

EasyBed For those who never make their bed but feel that it is one of those chores that should be done, this self-making bed might be the ticket. The sheet is rolled out by two fasteners that move along on each side of the bed. Inventor Enrico Berruti admits that he created the EasyBed for people who couldn’t do it themselves, but added “also because I’m a little bit lazy myself.”

The bed was displayed at this week’s International Exhibition of Inventions in Geneva which also included an injection-giving robot and, believe it or don’t, an e-mail analyzer that its creator says can determine if someone you meet in a chat room is actually the same sex that they claim to be.
