Zerocaster ZC070 Updates The Classic Furniture Caster

FURNITURE

Casters are the unsung hero of the office. Screwed at the base of office chairs, they give office drones the ability to slide from one place to another without bothering to get up. While regular furniture casters do the job just fine, isn’t it high time we gave that bastion of utility the makeover it deserves? Well, that’s pretty much what the Zerocaster ZC070 is trying to achieve. A replacement caster for office chairs and other furniture, it sheds the [...]

TR-808 Beanbag Lounger Sounds Nice

FURNITURE, HOME

You like to pretend you’re a musician of sorts when bringing girls over. But you can’t actually play, whether it be an instrument, a music-making software or one of those electronic thingamajigs. As such, you fill up your house with music-related items (like a Marshall Fridge, a Flipper Spatula and a vintage Les Paul with all the strings removed), so you can look the part without actually getting asked to play anything. May we recommend adding this TR-808 Beanbag to [...]

Artful Dodger Is A Coin Thief’s Favorite Chair

FURNITURE, HOME

Do you have often have visitors? Do they frequently have change in their pockets? If you say “yes” to both, then you must have them sit in the Artful Dodger, a rocking chair that doubles as a petty thief, collecting lose coins as they fall off people’s pockets. Since it’s a rocking chair, it’s almost guaranteed that people will rock themselves back and forth on it. And since that rocking motion will cause whatever’s in their pocket to get jumbled, [...]

Dog House Sofa: A Couch For The Master, A Room For The Pets

If you have pets in the house, they need a place to call their own. Otherwise, they’ll just infringe on your space, jumping in your bed while you’re resting or sleeping on your lap while watching shows on your Sony Ultra HD TV. The Dog House Sofa seeks to give your mutt their own space, all without adding any unsightly items in the house. Made by Korean pet-centric brand mPup and designed by Seungji Mun, the seating furniture features an [...]

Takka Stool Set Features A Height-Adjustable Table

FURNITURE, HOME

Height adjustable chairs, especially ones for office use, are plenty common. What we seem to be missing, though, are height-adjustable tables that your kids can use as a play table in the morning and you can use to work on a laptop later in the night. That’s the gap the Takka Stool Set appears to be looking to fill. Designed by Agnieszka Mazur, it’s a three piece set consisting of a small round table and a pair of stools, all [...]

Ping Pong Conference Table: Have A Meeting, Play A Game

FURNITURE

Remember the Table & Tennis conference table? As awesome as that was, it was a one-off, so you couldn’t buy one even if you manage to convince the purchasing manager to get one for the boardroom. Fortunately, someone else stepped up to offer a similarly-rigged office furniture for the rest of us: the Ping Pong Conference Table. The double-duty boardroom workhorse won’t just serve as a functional place to hold your meetings, as you can use it to settle disputes with [...]

AdapTable Is A Modular, Customizable Work Desk

FURNITURE, HOME

We usually do all our work from one work table at home. Need to type something up to send to the UK headquarters over the weekend? Do it there. Need to look over blueprints and take notes? Do it there. Want to cut out magazine pictures to make a vision board? Dude, you’re cornier than One Direction singing a Jay-Z song, but do it there. That’s kind of the reasoning behind the AdapTable, a work desk that you can quickly [...]

Kettal Cottage Puts A Bed Inside A Mini-House

FURNITURE, HOME

An outdoor bed is great. Until it rains. Or until the clouds disappear at high noon and the sun shines its intense torch. The Kettal Cottage prepares for those situations, bringing a slatted roof that makes it perfect for use in nearly all weather conditions. Designed by Milan-based Patricia Urquiola for furniture company Kettal, it’s, basically, a mini-cottage that houses nothing but a bed. Instead of a solid roof, it uses slats that can be opened and closed just like [...]

Paq Chair Is A Beautifully-Designed Mattress/Armchair Combo

FURNITURE, HOME

Chairs that convert into mattresses aren’t really all that new. Finding one, however, that actually looks serviceable as a chair is rare. And that’s exactly what the Paq Chair brings with its novel transforming design. Unlike many transforming chair/mattresses I’ve seen, this one looks like it can actually hold you decently. Provided you’re approximately not that much chubbier than the folks in the pictures, of course. While I doubt it can make for a regular armchair for plopping down after [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]
