• The T-shirt Chair: Environmentally-friendly and Comfortable-looking

  In Design, Furniture

  

  T-shirts are funny things, for the most part they are a cheap piece of clothing; but they are expressive and comfortable and we grow attached to them. When they reach the end of their life-cycle they can be pretty hard to let go – so why not turn them into something useful? That’s what Swedish designer Maria Westerberg did when she created her T-shirt chair, and she earned herself a Green Furniture Award for her [...]

   

• Blackhawk Coffee Table Looks Badass, Won’t Totally Blow the Budget

  In Furniture

  

  The thing about aviation themed furniture – you know the type where they turn an engine into a dining table etc. – is that it tends to come with prices that linger somewhere in the stratosphere and is well beyond the means of hard working men or women. This Blackhawk Coffee Table is a little different because it goes with the look not the parts – so less needs to be done to it to [...]

   

• Foosball Dining Table Lets You Play While You Eat

  In Furniture, Gaming

  

  Gaming tables are cool and everything, the only problem with them is that tend to have a pretty hefty footprint and require quite a bit of dedicated space – so getting them to do double-duty makes a good deal of sense. This foosball dinner table from Skitsch is a perfect example: it looks great and the tempered glass surface let’s you use it for dinner without the top getting in the way of your foosball [...]

   

• The Millennium Table: Play Classic Games on Stylish Furniture

  In Furniture, Gaming

  

  The Millennium Table is not the first overpriced piece of retro gaming furniture we have seen and it will not be the last; but if you have $3000 to blow, love retro games and need a new coffee table, you could do worse. It packs in 60 classic games including Space Invaders, Pac-Man, Asteroids, and other old favorites. The action takes place on a 19″ LCD screen and there are two sets of controls so [...]

   

• A Throne For the Octopus Lover

  In Furniture

  

  After looking at Maximo Riera’s unusual creation I don’t think the question should by, “why would you want an octopus chair?” – it should be, “why wouldn’t you want an octopus chair?”. Okay, I know it is practical and the tentacles will get in the way, but this thing practically makes you Cthulu and that counts for something doesn’t it? [NotCot via Steampunk Home]

   

• Rock Band Ottoman The First Semi-classy Piece of Gaming Furniture We’ve Seen In a Long While

  In Furniture, Gaming

  

  Plastic instrument games are cool and everything, but they do tend to clutter up the house – which makes this Rock Band ottoman a really cool idea. It hides all of your Rock Band instruments away and gives you something to put your feet on when they are not in use – or when they are for that matter. Price: $90-180 [Awesomer]

   

• Letto Zip Bed Needs (Almost) No Making

  In Furniture

  

  For people like me that hate making beds, this Letto Zip Bed is really a step in the right direction. A simple zipper lets you get your bed back into order quickly and relatively painlessly. It is the work of Italian furniture maker Florida, and is definitely the way that beds need to be heading – but it is no panacea – you still have to zip and that is only marginally easier than making [...]

   

• Estonian Naval Mine Furniture Looks Steampunky

  In Design, Furniture

  

  If you’ve got a ton of money that you don’t know what to do with and a house that needs decorating with a steampunk aesthetic, you could do a whole lot worse than Mati Karmin’s Marine Mine line. The Estonian sculptor turned a bunch of anti-submarine mines into functional, awesome-looking furniture – and did so without blowing himself up in the process. I have no idea what the pieces cost, but I’m guessing that they [...]

   

• Koraltürk Lets You Have Your Billiard Table and Eat On it Too

  In Furniture

  

  The folks at Koraltürk furniture have figured out an elegant way around the whole billiard table / space equation. Their billiard tables transform into dining tables – which is an excellent idea, because most dining rooms are proportioned beautifully for a good-sized pool table. So now you can have one, without needing a whole extra room. If you want one, you are probably going to have to pay through the nose for shipping – these [...]

   

• The Coolest Seven Pocket Speedboat Billiard Table I have Ever Seen

  In Furniture

  

  If there is a cooler memorial for a professional water skier than this 21-foot speedboat pool table, I have yet to see it. The table features six pockets in their usual positions and one in the bow – and it has a built in ball return system, so you can actually use the table instead of just looking at it.

• Hammacher Treadmill Desk-in-a-box Is All Desk and no Treadmill

  In Furniture

  

  If your working hours are so long that you have no time to exercise, then you have probably found yourself considering a treadmill desk somewhere along the way; working and a workout all rolled up in one. The trouble is that most of the treadmill desks that you see on the Interwebs are do-it-yourself affairs – setting them up can involve a considerable amount of time and expense. Now Hammacher has taken the DIY part [...]

   

• Portable Office Might Be Convenient… For Some

  In Design, Furniture

  

  Okay folks have been ragging on this transportable workspace and I want to say that there could be some utility in it. Hear me out, it is not that far fetched. Let’s say you live in tiny apartment in a space-cramped country like Japan. You want to get the most out of your space and you don’t need a desk that is permanently set up… it would be pretty cool right? It is made from [...]
