The REK Bookcase from Reinier de Jong doesn’t just have good looks, it can expand and contract as your book collection changes. Slide it together and it’s extremely thin, taking up no more room than a basic bookshelf would. Expand it and you get a storage system that rivals that of IKEA. Who would even think about keeping this thing ...

We all know Tiffany & Co. as a seller of fine luxury goods, specifically jewelry and home decor. Usually, Tiffany stuff is very costly but not today. You can get yourself this creepy Jack Skellington lamp for a paltry $60. Yes, sixty bucks gets you a Tiffany lamp. In fac-wait a second. This only looks like it’s from Tiffany! What ...

I don’t understand why I can’t spend three hours in the shower or courtesy flush twice during a massive number two. Why is water such a precious and conserved commodity when we have devices like the WaterMill which extracts the water from air? This glorified dehumidifier is placed on the outside of your house and brings fresh water in to ...

Look at all of the nasty things going on in this apartment. Shitting, fucking, killing, stealing and even tripping are revealed when this magic apartment light is lit up. With the lights off, this house looks like nothing out of the ordinary, but flip the switch and you’re in for a big surprise. The things people do when I’m not ...

Some say that I have a thing for glowing, ambient lights. Very true. Hence why I’m kind of going ga-ga over LumiGram’s LumiTable. It’s a 63″ x 13″ and costs $195 but boy will it pay off when you throw a party. It’s made of LumiGram’s proprietary fiber optic material called Luminex (boy, such originality with product names!). The LumiTable ...

Even if you’re a vegan and you keep clear of any consumables that at one time were living, breathing creatures, that doesn’t mean you can’t enjoy the great American holiday that is Thanksgiving. Does the sight of a stuffed and beheaded turkey on your table disturb you? Then decorate your Thanksgiving dinner table with a papercraft turkey. It’s fun because, ...

Kevin Kelly has a great find over on his site Cool Tools. It’s an $11 book from author Norbert E. Yankielun that teaches the art of the igloo and other snow shelters. After reading the 208 page novel, all you’ll need to do is wait for the next Nor’Easter and you’re ready to build a house that isn’t affected by ...

Here’s a chair fit for a Marshall. Alexander Reh’s chair is called Fully Loaded and features a steel frame with 12-gauge shotgun shells. Not only does it look great, but you could easily use it to defend yourself in a hostage situation. And by hostage situation, I’m talking about how you kidnapped the Domino’s guy and the police have been ...

This clock burns with the power of lemons. No, really. This is a digital clock that is powered by citric acid. The wood plank has two spikes of copper and zinc built into it. Put half of a lemon on each spike and be amazed at how it runs on a single lemon for an entire week. It’s magic. Looking ...

Straight Up Chess makes gaming and chess boards. Nothing new there, aside from the fact that these games are designed to be played on a vertical surface. Mount the board to your wall and casually play a game with your roommate. You have to take a piss, you make a move. Cooking dinner, make a move. Grabbing a condom from ...
