• IKEA Creates World’s Cheapest Digital Camera

  In Furniture, Gadgets, Housewares

  

  If IKEA can fit a modern and functional home for 4 into 250 square feet for less than $1000, it should be no surprise that they can create a digital camera out of cardboard and sell it for $Free.99. Known as the KNÄPPA, the 2.3 megapixel camera plugs right into your computer for file transfer, and holds up to 40 pics. The camera will be given away to promote IKEA’s 2012 PS Furniture Collection. “Instead, [...]

   

• Light Your Room With Pixelated Intergalactic Warfare [Space Invaders Lamp]

  In Design, Furniture

  

  I’m guessing that the 47″ x 8″ Space Invaders LED backlit floor lamp that you see above (and below) is not officially licensed by Namco – now you tell me, does that make it more or less awesome? The lamp is the work of Etsy seller pieromenetti and if you are fast enough it can be yours for the surprisingly affordable price of $202. There’s only one available and this is getting some attention on [...]

   

• Working NES Controller Coffee Table Will Hurt Your Bank Balance

  In Furniture

  

  If you are looking to outfit your gaming room with a new coffee table then this NES controller coffee table might tickle your fancy. The 42″ long table is more than just a place to rest a hot cup of coffee – the buttons all work and it can be used as a controller. A glass tabletop can be put in place for when it is performing non-gaming duties. From the designer: Nintendo NES controller [...]

   

• Old Computer Parts Turned Into Stools

  In Furniture

  

  Rodrigo Alonso turned some donated computer parts and peripherals into some fully functional furniture, in the form of the N+ew Stool. To create the flush surfaces, Alonso arranged the parts in a mold and poured in a mixture of resin and molten recycled aluminum. If you want one, head over to Alonso’s site and send him an email (I’m guessing the shipping price will be up there, as these have to come from Chile). [Technabob]

   

• Table Full of Not So Secret Compartments

  In Furniture

  

  Want a table with a whole bunch of compartments that are sort of, but not really secret? The Kai Table from Naoki Hirakoso might be it. It is a big square masterpiece of storage efficiency; just like a Japanese house – only smaller. Unfortunately it comes from Japan and like most few-of-a-kind pieces of furniture awesomeness – it costs a lot. Price: About $7,800 [Neatorama]

   

• Who Doesn’t Want a Wooden AT-AT Booze Cabinet?

  In Furniture, Geeky

  

  This is, without a doubt, the most awesome liquor cabinet I have seen in a long, long time. It may even be the most awesome liquor cabinet I have ever seen. A large AT-AT has been built, from the ground up, out of wood – that part alone is pretty cool, that it holds booze where the stormtroopers would go… makes it genius. We would love to have more details about who made it and [...]

   

• Crashed Ferrari Table

  In Concept, Design, Furniture, Gadgets

  

  If you are looking for a new DIY project, you could try making yourself a crashed Ferrari table. Building the table looks like it would be the easy part – it’s finding the crashed Ferrari that is likely to present something of a challenge. Of course, there is no need to limit the automobile to a Ferrari – Hummer H1 dining table, anyone? If you want to find out more, or make an offer to [...]

   

• This Rocking Chair for Two Makes Me Want to Retch

  In Furniture

  

  Actually, the chair itself doesn’t make me want to retch so much as the models in these product shots. A rocking chair isn’t supposed to be a love seat… love seats shouldn’t even exist. Sitting on a rocking chair is an awesome solitary experience and should never be cheapened with annoying couples staring lovingly in one another’s eyes… but I digress. The Sway chair is a double-wide rocking chair by Markus Krauss that has a [...]

   

• LED Klingon Coffee Table Makes Me Wish I Could Make Cool Stuff Out of Wood

  In DIY, Furniture, Geeky

  

  Take a good look at what you can do with “26 Flashing RGB diodes and a blue one underneath! Sheet Acrylic top. Clear Acrylic rod for supports, pine frame with dowel joints. 2 coats of matt varnish.” Pretty impressive, isn’t it?

   

• Legion pallet table helps the planet, looks pretty cool

  In DIY, Furniture

  

  The Legion pallet tables are made from used shipping pallets; the pallets are sandblasted and then waxed to give them a luxurious golden brown color. The wheels at the bottom, which raise the table to acceptable height, look pretty substantial – two of them have brakes. You might argue that $242 is a lot to pay for something when the wood that it is built out of is essentially free, but sandblasting and waxing are [...]

   

• The Most Complicated Pipe Organ Desk You Will See All Day

  In DIY, Furniture

  

  Let me make one thing absolutely clear: this Kagen Schaefer’s pipe organ desk is not a DIY project that most people are going to be able to pull off at home – it took him three years to build and he knows what he is doing. Us mere mortals can merely admire the view. In his own words: The Pipe Organ Desk has been in the works for more than 3 years. It is entirely [...]

   

• USB Cooler Cushion Saves You From Drowning in Your Own Butt Sweat

  In Computers, Furniture

  

  Sitting in front of a computer all day for a living can be hot, thankless work – more so if you work with a laptop on your lap – and chances are that the hottest part of your body is going to be the ever expanding mass of fat and muscle that comes into contact with your chair. If you want to cool down you could try a standing desk, a really expensive mesh chair [...]
