As part of the Scandinavian Furniture Fair, Kenneth Lylover entered his Surf Chair into the Internet Collection competition. It won “Best Product” and it’s easy to see why. This semi-circle-shaped chair comes with a built-in LCD on the front and a padded frame to allow for the most comfortable Internet browsing experience possible. With a mouse and keyboard included, the ...

Here’s an idea that seems so elementary, it’s absurd that no one thought of the idea years ago. NeatSheets. It’s a sheet with a pocket on the side. I could add a ton of adjectives and shit about how they’re “extra comfy” and what not, but let’s cut right to the nectar. Sound good? Excellent. These sheets seem like a ...

Screw Goodwill! Designer Ximena Orozco has made pillows from old, tasteless clothing previously collecting dust. A great way to turn an ugly wool jacket into an even uglier wool pillow. Trashing clothes is a real waste and no one wants to support the broke and homeless, so this is a great way to not only avoid helping hobos but also ...

Five pieces of wood stuck together yet divided by a fissure and you call it the “stink tree?” This outlandish hippie coffee table was designed by Dylan Gold who says, “Don’t spill your drink.” My response? Don’t construct a table with a fucking crack in it. It would be like a chalkboard with a gap in the center which can’t ...

The Iron Man movie was awesome and we’ve all seen the crazy fanboys dressing up in cosplay costumes. The next take on the DIY arc reactor is very Robert Downey Jr and we think that’s a good thing (these days). Remember the terrible chest piece Tony Stark had to create to keep him self alive?

This version of a USB battery by IOGear is pretty nifty. One end works as a miniUSB plug, allowing you to easily charge your cellphone, MP3 player, digital camera or vibrator when you’re in dire need of some juice. The Gearjuice Rescue Chargers is a steal at $12. The next time you break down on the side of the road ...

What happens when you host a 40th anniversary gallery party and invite a multi-artists collaborative? You get Psycho Buildings is what. Twisted architecture ripe with decay rules king at The Hayward Gallery in London. Above is a piece from Atelier Bow-Wow entitled Life Tunnel. Either way, hit the jump to get a good look into the world of Psycho Buildings.

This ceiling clock may be massive but it does bare quite a resemblance to your night-stand companion. Doubling as both a timepiece and a functional light source, you’ll stand in amazement watching time fly by. I wonder if there’s an annoying alarm to go with it… Link (via)

Nixie clocks possess the subtlety of simplicity as well as a retro run-down look. The finished project looks fantastic but good luck trying to make it look like the picture.� If you aren’t interested in assembling electronics, then there’s nothing simple about this DIY. For $150, you can have this 115-part set of tubes and socket pins sent to you ...
