The Original ‘Joey’ Chair

Tuesday, March 7th, 2006

Odd how it has taken the American sitcom ‘Friends‘ to bring the lounge chair into popular culture for men. Most modern apartments will now feature a lounge reclining chair facing the TV with a coffee table either side for storage of beer/remote controls/games controller etc. Well this was the original, Charles Eames‘ Lounge Chair spawned […]

Cool Warm Radiators

Thursday, February 9th, 2006

Radiators are big business at the moment, I’ve seen many different products in many different guises but none as cool as this one. Designed by Joris Laarman and taken into production by Droog Design, the Heat Wave is expected to hit the consumer market in 2007.

My Foto Wall

Tuesday, January 17th, 2006

I came across these guys who are offering a very cool service. You submit a photograph of your choice and they then print the image onto wallpaper for you, just enough to cover the required area. How good is that! The website is also pretty good if you’re into the odd flash animation, check the […]

65″ LCD TV!

Thursday, January 5th, 2006

Nearly as big as a plasma screen TV, Sharp’s latest model is a whopping 65″ Aquos Titanium LCD TV boasting a fantastic 6ms response time, 1920 x 1080 pixel resolution and 176 degree viewing angle. This really is the dogs licking bits of a TV. Mind the price though before you order one, an also […]

An un-named Japanese designer has come up with this multibowl fish home! There’s three connected globes that the fish can swim between. This allows you to create different environments for the little things, think fish heaven - the bowl with a castle, regular feeding and a ready oxygen supply. Fishy plaground, a place of rocks […]

Bespoke Christmas Tree Decorations

Thursday, November 3rd, 2005

Loominocity have some new products about to be released (just in time for Christmas, oddly). They’re a new take on Christmas tree baubles and feature LED’s to gently colour shift through a variety of tones, although I’m sure someone will mod these to produce some fit inducing disco tree! I’m not sure on the prices […]

Sofa so good

Monday, October 24th, 2005

This is not your average sofa. Fitted out in soft leather, it’s perfect for two people to lounge around optimum coolness whilst utilising the LCD monitor (aparently the control centre for your home theatre). The cost of couch luxary starts at $8000.

Look! I’m on TV!

Tuesday, September 13th, 2005

Ok, maybe I’m not quite on TV but I think this latest model from Philips, the “Miravision” is pretty cool. A nice mirrored finish disguises the TV when it’s not in use, all yours for £2700

Off the Mirror Tree

Tuesday, August 30th, 2005

Daniel Rozin has come up with this very innovative piece of art. Hardly a functional mirror but it operates by using a camera to relay the image in front of it to a number of wooden blocks. These are manoeuvred using servo’s to represent the image fed by the camera. It’s very clever stuff that […]
