Furniture that stimulates in more ways than one

There’s been a lot of furniture that I’ve seen that has stimulated me in some way, either challenged me intellectually with its advanced language or struck me with its simplicity and clean minimalism. There has, however, never been furniture that has actually turned me on…and I never thought there would be. Yet, here we are. […]

Play a game, store your junk.

Emma Klinkenberg has taken an old idea (the move-one-square-at-a-time-puzzle) and implemented it into an even older piece of furniture (a table) to achieve her modern design (the puzzle table). Have fun, store all your useless junk…everyone wins…except the table. It would rather have cool spy weapons stowed in it. Buy it for $4,235 U.S. dollars […]

Reclaimed sporks, plastic red cups and Le Corbusier chairs

Last week we brought you the ingenious Hangover Lamp and freezable beer tray, courtesy of one Luis Luna. Well his talents lay much deeper than simply reclaiming plastic red cups and making them pretty. Sure, we also love the Gluttony Lamp above — which does similar work as the Hangover Lamp only with plastic cutlery […]

Comfort and motion in chair form

Designed by Nick Trincia — one-half of the duo behind the ever-popular Openaire laptop workstation — the Fluid Rocker chair is another clever creation. Constructed of a single piece of fiberglass, the inside of the chair is wrapped in felt — both for the comfort of sitting and also to provide softer, quieter rocking.


Designed by Philippe Starck, these 100W Parrot Zikmu speakers play music from your laptop via Wi-Fi or from your phone via Bluetooth. Of course there’s also a port for your iPod or iPhone cause we live in the 21st century. The 2.5-foot tall trumpet-shaped speakers are acoustically designed for clarity and bass, but I gotta […]

The Eames' debut one of the most iconic furniture pieces of all time

This a great two-part video of Charles and Ray Eames debuting to the world their watershed Lounge and Ottoman — arguably the most famous chair in furniture design history. Created for Herman Miller, Charles said the idea was to design a chair with the “warm, receptive look of a well-used first baseman’s mitt.” Mission accomplished. […]

A beautiful solution for those hideous red cups

I like how this guys thinks. Luis Luna has designed a beer case (below) which is not only aesthetically pleasing but functional. You remove the silver tray — which is filled with water — and stick in your freezer. You then put it back in the case and fill it with beers, keeping your Fat […]
