I love the concept and the way it looks. It does seem, though, as if one chair’s seat is higher up than the other. So one chair is like a bar stool, while if you sat in the other chair, your chin would be rather close to the table’s surface. * Posted by Sheryl - 08/26/2008 Yes, it looks really cool and it would certainly save space, but with all those straight angles & sharp edges, it just looks so UNCOMFORTABLE! * Posted by Bex! - 08/26/2008 Ikea has a 4 chair table set that similarly tucks away to take up no more space than the table’s footprint; it’s called Fusion. I didn’t find it particularly comfy on my recent Ikea field trip and would rather go for eating on the floor or for a folding table and chairs. Also it does not look nearly as cool when put away as this one. * Posted by L - 08/26/2008 Ick. Sorry, but ick. * Posted by tehKenny - 08/26/2008 it’s a nice thought, basic idea and everything but the japanese simply aren’t ones for comfort are they * Posted by Tracy - 08/26/2008... See less

By Andrew Liszewski Even if your fridge is already energy-efficient and eco-friendly, here’s one more way to make it truly ‘green.’ Originally designed by Richard Hutten to be used on the office ceilings of the Boijmans van Beuningen Museum in Rotterdam, these plastic leaves have a small magnet at the base allowing you to attach them to any metal surface. Besides using them to spruce up a filing cabinet or other metal faced appliances, they’d also come in handy for hiding that rusted out Chevy sitting in the backyard you keep meaning to ‘fix-up’ one of these days. The Leave Magnets have supposedly been put into production by an office furniture maker called Gispen, but I can’t find any information about them on the company’s website. See less

By Andrew Liszewski This very cool bookshelf concept designed by Arianna Vivenzio is basically a large elastic bandage stretched around 2 metal posts that are permanently fixed to the wall. The tension from the elastic allows you to fit a variety of different sized objects inside like books, CDs, DVDs and even boxes full of smaller items. However I think the elastic material would have to be particularly strong to ensure the bookshelf wouldn’t just sag to the ground, which in turn means there’s going to be a lot of force on those 2 metal posts. On the plus side if this thing ever snapped you wouldn’t have to worry about it putting an eye out since it would probably take your head clean off. See less

Rule Your Photos With an Iron-Fist... Wirelessly Obviously printed photos are so last-decade. Digital photo frames allow us to go directly from shooting to displaying our photos with no messy meatspace-based printed version needed. The eStarling 2.0 Wi-Fi Photo Frame takes this concept to the next level by connecting to your local Wi-Fi network and allowing you to send photos to it via e-mail or RSS photo feed. With full web-based access you can control exactly the photos you want on your eStarling frame at any time from anywhere in the world. E-mail photos as .jpg attachments and they appear on your frame. Choose a Flickr photo feed with the keyword "cool japanese robots" and soon your frame will be scrolling through nifty shots of highly desirable bots you will never get your hands on. New Photobucket integration allows you to add photos into rotation on your eStarling frame directly from the Photobucket website. You can of course send photos while on the go from your mobile phone,... See less

If you are a true Perpetual Kid or have recently seen "March of the Penguins", you've probably wanted a pet penguin to "light" up you life. The only problem is that they're loud, dirty, probably like the room a lot colder than you, and really aren't that "bright". At 15" tall, our black and white Penguin Lamp is a perfect substitute for the real thing. Its 20 watt halogen bulb adds just the right lighting to any Cube, dorm or home office. It even looks good on a real kid's desk. The majestic penguin shape might even make them stay put long enough to do most of their homework! * 15" Tall * 20 Watt, 12 Volt halogen bulb (included) * On/Off Switch located on Penguin's back * Head swivels up and down for perfect lighting adjustment. * Made of durable polycarbonate plastic * Plugs into standard 120V outlet See less

According to Karim Rashid, a piggy bank deserves more attention. Of course, his sophisticated designs are void of an actual piggy but still serve their purpose. "These ubiquitous objects need perpetual new ideas, new personalities and new character to be more animated," he says. "But in an abstract way, not as kitsch or literal redesign." This hourglass shaped bank, aptly named Time is Money, draws the important connection between the two valuable concepts. Much like the sands in an hourglass that measure time, the coins drop into the piggybank and build a tiny fortune when you practice a bit of patience. See less

La Tete Au Cube is a group of great designers with wonderful ideas. Tank U is an army-inspired vase that caused quite a stir when it was first launched in Paris. It was either loved or completely misunderstood. In our opinion, its intention is as obvious as the Limoges Porcelain craftsmanship is impeccable. Handmade with the highest quality standards, each cannon head is individually placed so no two vases are identical. Cute! See less

Hi! So here's a question: Is your office desk organized and perfectly clean? And can you present that perfect example of how a den should be organized without any clutter? OK, we won't ask. Mostly, because it won't be organized, but actually filled with notes, magazine clippings, business cards, to-do lists, and so on and so forth.. And if we would ask, we would make you look like the somewhat unorganized slob you (and the majority of people we know, including ourselves) actually are. But this wonderful little device might actually cause some organized chaos on your desk. It's basically a spring shaped like an oversized stainless steel paper clip that allows you to stick anything that's currently lying on your table, or sticking on your screen, or pinned to some wall, into the soft springs. In turn, you will relieve your desk of some of the chaos it had to endure. Or make room for more chaos, but let's not even go there... So this little thingy comes in black and in stainless, is 10 x... See less

THEY ARE BACK IN STOCK!!! The latest addition to the 100% portfolio is a lamp in shape of – you guessed it – a lamp. A wonderful idea that causes irritated looks followed by broad grinning. Born out of the fact that light bulbs have become a commodity product, that lead a pretty neglected life, only in our focus when it breaks and when we usually don't have the correct replacement on hand. We are much more intrigued by the surrounding of the lightbulb, the shape of the shade or the way it is held, or the size... All of that casual usage of the common bulb will now change, and it will be displayed for what it is. LampLamp injects life and values into the commodity products we know and creates an affinity to a normally distant product. We love it! It is an E26/E27 bulb with 30 watts – so flexible to fit into pretty much any socket. But you don't want to hide it under a lamp shade, or do you now? See less
