Air-filled furniture isn’t known for its flawless comfort. I’ve spent some pretty hellish nights on air-mattresses. I could only imagine the experience would have been even worse if the mattress itself was glowing like some radioactive mutant. Thankfully the Via Lattea collection by Meritalia doesn’t include a mattress. Instead, this glowing set of furniture exudes a totally chill glow. If ...

No, really. These seats are just coincidentally named Poufman, they’ve got nothing to do with the classic Namco game, Pac-Man. No relation at all. Hell, these seats aren’t even inspired by Pac-Man one bit. If anything, Pac-Man is inspired by these seats. The designers of Italian company QAYOT were clearly eating a slice of pizza when they spawned the creation ...

This piece of shiny goodness is the product of one Lee J. Rowland, an engineer from the UK. He’s producing some of these fantastic-looking coffee tables that are made from 394 precision-engineered spheres. Each sphere is 70mm in diameter and can be polished to create the tinted glass top you see above. It’s gorgeous, no doubt, but furniture like this ...
