The Groundfloor, a coffee table with a built-in fire pit is the work of upmarket European company, Planika. It looks like a modern take on the older styles of Japanese dining tables, which are made out of heavy wood, sit low to the ground and have fire pits in the middle.

Evil Coffee Table is an Accident Waiting to Happen
In my travels of the Internet today, I was taken to the Fist Fire website, where I was pleased to see some of the coolest and most dangerous looking furniture I have ever come across. The Evil Coffee Table was not featured there, but is a very tidy piece of craftsmanship. It looks like it would be very much at home with Dr. Claw. It looks sinister and there are plenty of jagged bits to impale yourself upon which makes it dangerous as well; a winning combination.
According to the designer:
This represents the meanest table I have been able to create this year. Its intent was to pack rage into a coffee table. Legs and accents unbolt for ease in transporting. May also be purchased with leveling feet instead of castors. Materials used include steel, acrylic and glass.
I have no idea on price, but considering the fact that it is a one of a kind work of art I would be guessing that you would need a portly stack of dough to make the Evil Coffee Table your own.
Ballerhouse picked up a great looking brass knuckle chair and has a few images of some of their other pieces.

A Giant Remote, No Dialing Wand Required
What could be better than a giant universal remote with oversized buttons? Sure, there are better-looking models out there, but this thing is too big to lose. It is 5 1/2 inches wide and 8 1/2 inches long and it swallows four AA batteries. I am forever losing my remote controls and in terrible need of a universal remote. This might just be the thing to stop me from lying on my stomach and looking under coffee tables.
According to the retailer:
(The Giant Universal Remote) Works with virtually all TVs, VCRs, DVDs and cable boxes. Setup is easy and programming is retained even during battery changes. Keypad lights for 15 seconds when any button is touched.
