Us hobos nomadic spirits know a little something about the comfort of big ol’ hunks of stone. If I could afford a bed (or a place to live even) I would be a better judge of coziness, I admit. At least these Livingstones being more comfortable than real stones is something most of us can agree on. The plush Livingstone ...

Rather than measuring by inches, this belt is designed to guesstimate your weight. The larger your waist, the higher the weight will show as with the Weight Belt. Using this belt in conjunction with the ego-crushing phone could solve your over-confidence issues in a snap. The problem with this is if you have a really large ass, or have your ...

The whale-shaped Manned Cloud is only in its early concept stages, but the idea is a weirdly cool one. A flying whale hotel? I mean really, who comes up with this stuff?! French designer, Jean-Marie Massaud. That’s who. Mixing the aesthetics of the old time led zeppelins with modern design practices, the Manned Cloud would host up to 40 passengers ...

Designer Amit Zoran has been playing around with a concept that allows guitar players to customize their own unique sound. Using a CAD/CAM process, this conceptual acoustic sound box allows musicians to custom choose their own sound cells, creating a truly unique tone. Each string has its own bridge, allowing each bridge to be linked to different custom sound cells ...

Your PC is watching you. And we don’t mean internally. Designer Ross McBride has come up with these PC cases which gives the desktop tower a personality. If this PC could talk, I might even quip, “Why the long face?” Many geeks picture their computers having their own personalities anyway. Many even go as far as naming their computers. At ...

Wardrom is a spikey set of hooks which is designed to create an organized form of disorganization. If that makes any sense. Just throw your attire at the Wardrom and one of the impaling hooks will grab hold of the article of clothing, teaching it who’s boss. It’s time we stop letting our clothes think they are superior to us. ...

Although Lego is a piece of cultural history in its own right, they can also portray other parts of history with their versatile building forms. Brothers Brick presents a look at historical figures through the use of Lego people, this week being the week for the skinny one himself, Mohandas Gandhi. What do you get for devoting your life to ...

Persian rugs are ridiculously expensive. I mean come on, it’s not like the damn things are entwined with Pamela Anderson’s pubic shavings (or even diamonds) or something. If you’ve always wanted a Persian rug, but can’t afford that kind of carpeting luxury, then until now you were shit out of luck. The Persian Carpet Puzzle concept is a much cheaper ...

With inspiration clearly drawn from the Terminator, this Evil Lego Machine Head was made by a Lego fanboy. While it might not be much competition to Nathan Sawaya’s incredible brick art, the Machine Head is actually pretty haunting looking. We wonder if it’s like one of those paintings that is looking at you no matter what angle you are looking ...

Alarme is a concept watch made for the hearing impaired. While we love poking fun at the handicapped just like any other average scum bag, we would never wish death upon one because of their disability (unless they were really, really mean cripples.) Alarme is unique in the fact that it can alert those who cannot hear an audible alarm ...
