Here I am, scared out of my wits about anything too extreme for my fragile geeky body, and this poor little guy, measuring a tiny fraction of my size, bungee jumps 24 times a day. I feel ashamed. Very ashamed.
The Jongchul Kim’s Bungee Jumping Clock features a little man who jumps out of his little cubby and bounces around in the air at the top of each hour.
Thank God this Twitter Bird Logo Pillow doesn’t beep or blink whenever a new tweet is posted, because you’d never sleep. This custom made pillow features the now iconic Twitter bird. I’m still waiting on a Fail Whale pillow.
It actually works out pretty nicely. The RSS Pillow symbolizes one half of my internet life, my research side, while the Twitter bird symbolizes my social side. Not to mention it’s an effective advertisement of your Twitter account for everyone who steps foot in your house.

Maybe Steve, our French-speaking publisher here at Gearfuse could better answer the question, “Why the fuck do French designers always have to do things bass ackwards? Does it make them feel more ‘artsy?’ Do your berets block your eyesight? Too much wine perhaps?’”
The “WTF, Not What I Thought” Lamp, designed by John Nouanesing, surprises the unsuspecting switch-flicker by illuminating the lamp stand rather than emitting a glow from beneath the shade. Very smart, Frenchy. Blind us, why don’t you. I guess that way it’s harder for us to aim our guns at your back as you run away. I’ll be waiting for your answer, Steve.
I love the idea of creating a chaotic assembly line of power on a plain white wall. The “Electronic Chaos” vinyl wall stickers are a gorgeous addition for the wall behind the gadgets.
Designed by Julia Wolf and created by Diz Decor, “Electronic Chaos” illustrates the connection of energy between all of your electronics. More chaos after the leap.
This has got to be one of the coolest themed couches ever created. Montanara by Gaetano Pesce creates the illusion of a mountain scene right in your living room, including cushion waterfalls and jagged support peaks of doom.
The picturesque couch makes you feel larger than life as you use nature’s largest objects as your personal lounging tool. Just watch where you sit. Those pine trees can be a bitch. See more after the jumptastic jump.
I pray for the day when wireless charging is available to the masses. Charging cables are ugly and a hassle to keep organized. But for now, they’re a mandatory product for us gearheads and gadget freaks. But do the cables really have to be so plain and ugly themselves? I mean, they can be a real eyesore, causing a damper of visual destruction in any room they infect. Is there a solution?
Not so much a cure as it is a distraction, Camouflaged Cables will take your mind off the ugliness of generic black wires and instead have you thinking, “Why the fuck are there vines in my house?” (more…)
We’re not, what you might call, “living large” here at Gearfuse (unless we’re talking about our scarily huge genitals. Really, we’re monsters.) We’re lucky if we can have more than two friends over at once without feeling cramped. But that’s not to say we’re complaining. We have a little nook to call our own for the time being, and that’s more than others can say. Though it’s always nice to save a little extra room. Even five square feet makes a huge difference in small quarters.
This folding bed design by Nicola From Bern is an awesome option for limited living space. An angled frame and fiberglass-reinforced plastic tubes create a bed frame that can be adapted to different mattress sizes. It’s probably not the most convenient method of saving extra space (you could always get some clunky futon,) but its minimalistic design fits right in with a minimalistic lifestyle.
To be perfectly honest, I sort of feel bad for Mr. Switch. He has people constantly tweaking his nose into impossible angles and he’s forced to smile through it all. But we can see through his pain. Those down-turned eyebrows tell us all we need to know about Mr. Switch’s mental state. We half expect lines of grief to form on his plastic forehead.
Though this is great news if you happen to be the type that loves personifying their home. Every fixture must have a personality. Mr. Switch suffers through the pain of a broken nose “switch.” But he’d be caught dead before showing YOU his anguish. If you’re evil enough to put aside the feelings of an innocent light fixture, Mr. Switch would make a cute little addition to your decor.
When you’re in the market for a new chandelier to decorate your home, style is everything. Sometimes style is outweighed by design, which is the case with this water bottle chandelier designed by Michelle Brand. We’ve seen chandeliers made of all sorts of recycled junk. Ballpoint pens, CD cases and even milk crates can be used to make impressive-looking household decor and the creativity doesn’t stop there.
Artist Michelle Brand uses cut-off plastic bottle bases to shower interiors with light. So not only is she resourcefully recycling plastic, she’s also making a bitchin’ light source for your living room.
No, really. These seats are just coincidentally named Poufman, they’ve got nothing to do with the classic Namco game, Pac-Man. No relation at all. Hell, these seats aren’t even inspired by Pac-Man one bit. If anything, Pac-Man is inspired by these seats.
The designers of Italian company QAYOT were clearly eating a slice of pizza when they spawned the creation of this luxury furniture. One of the designers took out a slice and was like, “Whoa, Poufman!” And that’s how Poufman was born. It wasn’t until later that the company heard tales of Pac-Man’s existence. So, it can’t be considered an infringement on the trademark established by Namco back in 1980. Or can it?
