Hosu Lounger: Could This Be The New Home Office Standard?

FURNITURE, HOME

Remember when you thought an expensive armchair and a large wooden desk is the perfect home office combo? With computing moving to tablets and mobile platforms (especially with that gorgeous Microsoft Surface on the way), that may actually change very soon. And when that happens, it isn’t too far fetched that more of us may opt for a home office equipped with the Hosu Convertible Lounger. Designed by Patricia Urquiola for Coalesse, it’s a sofa that can convert into a [...]

Andromeda Tactical Lighting Is A Military-Inspired Customizable Lamp

FURNITURE, HOME

When the picatinny rail was first invented, we doubt they envisioned it ever being used for home furniture. Let’s face it, though — it’s an awesome mounting system on top of being absolutely gnarly-looking. And it looks madly on point when used in the Andromeda Tactical Lighting. Made by Sketchy Design Studio, it’s a mililtary-inspired lamp that looks more like a battle robot than a lighting furniture. Seriously, my iRobot 710 wants to challenge it to a robot duel now. [...]

This Laptop Desk Features A Built-In Sound System

FURNITURE, GADGETS, HOME

Do you spend most of the time on a laptop either making or listening to music? Then it should be hard to find a more fitting workstation than the La Boite LD120 Laptop Desk, which integrates a hi-fi sound system right into the table frame. No, these aren’t just desktop speakers slotted into cabinets either — this is a high-quality sound system built into a functional work desk. It’s the kind of table every budding digital producer should have, instead [...]

Drink Wine While Sitting On This Giant Champagne Cork Stool

FURNITURE, HOME

A long time ago in a land far, far away, a giant came down from his home in the heavens bringing a giant crate filled with giant bottles of wine to share with the puny humans in the land down below. They partied, got drunk and got a little rowdy through the course of the night, eventually breaking the bottles and leaving nothing but the corks behind. Those corks have now made their way to the internet and are sold [...]

Moni Shelf Is One Awesome Minimal Yet Customizable Shelf

FURNITURE, HOME

The Moni Shelf has to be one of the simplest, yet most versatile wall shelf solutions I’ve seen. Unlike most shelves, you can literally arrange it into a variety of configurations that can add a definite touch of style to any room in your house. Designed by Carme Pinós Studio, the minimalist shelf consists of a single rectangular piece of steel that’s folded into a three-sided panel. Basically, you mount each panel individually, arranging several of them into any configuration you want. [...]

Blandito Is A Giant Pillow/Mattress Burrito

FURNITURE, HOME

We can’t tell how comfortable (or uncomfortable) the Blandito is, but I have to say: it looks awesome. Not only will it make for a sweet wraparound pillow/mattress/blanket — it can be repurposed for a whole lot of uses while chilling around the house, too. Created by Oradaria Design, it’s billed as a “transformable pad for lazy living.” And by transform, they’re not kidding, since you can fold it and roll it and turn it into a wide host of [...]

Little Oyster Is A Coffee Table That’s Also A Chair That’s Also A Storage Box

FURNITURE, HOME

We like it when stuff does other stuff that it isn’t supposed to. Like helicopters that are also cars. Or surfboard bags that are also tents. Or soup mugs that can also hold crackers. And we love the Little Oyster Coffee Table for those same multi-purpose talents. Designed by Al-Hamad Design, the transforming table sports a simple boxy shape that should make it useful either as a side table or a coffee table. While the design is rather simple and [...]

Higher Ground Bookshelf Features Pop-Out Ladder

FURNITURE, HOME

Living with tall bookshelves usually means you’ll need to have a ladder constantly nearby. That way, you can just pull it up as soon as you realize your wife (who happens to be the world’s tallest bikini model) put that graphic novel you’re halfway through reading on the top shelf again. Unless, of course, you’re using this Higher Ground Bookshelf. Designed by Karen King, the shelf makes needing an extra ladder unnecessary by integrating its own pop-out climbing system. That [...]

Montis Dickens Armchair Modernizes The Smoking Chair

FURNITURE, HOME

Unlike most people in your age group, you neither dress like a stylish rapper or a 90s slacker holdout. You’re classier than that, strolling about town looking dapper in tailored suits and spit-shine dress shoes. That’s how you roll. If your house reflects the same refined taste, then the Montis Dickens Armchair should fit right in. Designed by Dick Spierenburg, the furniture draws inspiration from 50s-era smoking chairs. The style is strictly modern, though, so don’t worry about looking like [...]

Hydroponics Island Puts A Fully-Concealed Garden In Your Kitchen

FURNITURE, HOME

Setting up a hydroponics system is probably the most ideal solution to growing plants indoors without the usual mess (dirt and puddles of water) of a typical garden. And if you’ve been looking for the most discreet way (for whatever legitimate reason, of course) to grow produce in your tiny apartment, the Hydroponics Kitchen Island sure looks like it can do the trick well. Made by Peter Buley, it’s a single-piece island cabinet that uses the interior space to hold [...]

Life Size Game Of Thrones Iron Throne Replica

ENTERTAINMENT, FURNITURE, HOME

It’s good to be king. Whether you’re ruling over the Seven Kingdoms, the drug trade in the streets of urban America or the population of engineers in your office, the king always gets his way. Every king deserves the kingliest of thrones and we can’t imagine anything more violently regal than this 1:1 replica of the Game of Thrones’ Iron Throne. No, this isn’t just some dude from Etsy crafting an unlicensed reproduction. Instead, it’s a life-sized official replica sold [...]

A Shelf For Books, Shoes And… A Bike?!?

FURNITURE, HOME

We’ve seen plenty of bike storage solutions before. And while the Shoes Books and Bike Shelf doesn’t even come close to the clever space-saving tricks some of those products pull, we can’t help but love the sheer madness of it. Designed by Thomas Walde for Post Fossil, it’s a multi-purpose standing shelf with designated spaces for books, shoes and a bicycle. Yep, a bicycle. That way, you can keep the bike in your room, instead of the garage or another [...]

Shoot To Switch: The BANG! Lamp

FURNITURE, HOME

Remote controls make everything better — even pillows. But what makes remote controls better? Turns out they become more awesome when the remote comes in the shape of a gun. Proof: the Bang! Lamp. Made by Bitplay, it’s a novelty desk lamp that you turn on and off using a pistol-shaped remote control. Aim the gun, pull the trigger and the lamp turns on; do it again and it switches off. Basically, it’s like a cooler, more awesome version of [...]

This Compact Folding Workbench Packs Flat For Storage

FURNITURE, HOME

If you do plenty of project work during the weekend and love building cool stuff, investing in a good workbench is a definite must. But not having enough room to stow away a large bench for the rest of the week might become an issue with wife real soon. That won’t be a problem with the Compact Folding Workbench. A flat-packing piece of furniture, this desk doesn’t stick you with such a cramped working space like many folding workstations do. [...]

Mixtape Coffee Table

FURNITURE, HOME

Cassette tapes, along with ghetto blasters and Sony’s Walkman, beautifully represent how people consumed their music in the 80s. So it’s not surprising a lot of today’s designers are incorporating those iconic objects into their creations. This gorgeous Mixtape Table has to be one of the darling examples. Made by Jeff Skierka, it’s a coffee table clad in the iconic form of a cassette tape. And he stays faithful, recreating the old media in detail, complete with fake tape running [...]

Folditure Leaf Chair Folds Flat To Less Than 0.75 Inches

FURNITURE, HOME

Folding chairs — we’ve seen all sorts and types. So far though, I don’t think I’ve ever come across anything like the Leaf, which looks more like a cool transforming robot than a seating furniture. The brainchild of Alexander Gendell at Folditure, the unique chair features a novel folding mechanism that allows it to fold into a flat shape that’s less than 3/4 of an inch in thickness and that also in the blink of an [...]

Urban Shelf Is A Temporary Side Table You Can Set Up In Any Bed

FURNITURE, HOME

You want a side table for the bedroom. But the last of your card’s credit limit went to that NES Controller Table you impulse-purchased during a drunken haze last week. Don’t worry, your nighttime stash don’t have to be strewn across the floor night after night. You can get a functional side table without an actual side table with the Urban Shelf. A three-panel foldable shelf designed to install by your bed, you simply unfold the whole thing and slip [...]

Lazy Football Chair Features Built-In Soccer Goal

FURNITURE, HOME

When I was a kid, I did plenty of things to turn standard household fare into toys. Buckets became basketball hoops. Plastic plates became frisbees. And throw pillows became ladder sleds. Somehow, though, I feel like I missed out on turning chairs into soccer goals like the Lazy Football Chair does. Designed by Emanuele Magini for Campeggi, it’s just a simple chair with net wrapped around the legs. While dead easy, that little tweak just turned the chair into a [...]

SmartDeco Makes Inexpensive Yet Functional Corrugated Furniture

FURNITURE, HOME

I love cardboard furniture — it’s easy to move around, simple to assemble and serviceable to look at. But it’s temporary furniture at best, so paying regular furniture price for it (like many cardboard furniture makers seem to expect) just isn’t something I can see doing unless they can last as long as their wood and metal counterparts. That’s why SmartDeco’s affordable pricing makes perfect sense. While none of these furniture pieces are likely to win points in stylish design [...]
