The Screw Chair. It sounds like some sort of forbidden BDSM device. And it could probably be used as one, given the right people and setting. But, luckily, sado-masochism is not its derived purpose. Made of 3,726 drywall screws and a bunch of hastily stacked wooden blocks, the Screw Chair is made to be used as a generic place to rest your feet.

Thankfully, the designer had the right of mind to use the flat side of the screw as the actual sitting surface, which makes it just a tad bit more accessible, no? Check out some more pics after the jump. (more…)

I love sushi. Whether I’m eating it or sleeping on it, it’s all good. These ThinkGeek pillows modeled after popular Japanese cuisine run anywhere from $45 to $60 dollars and come in a variety of different styles/flavors. Tuna, salmon, shrimp, salmon roe and even edamame have all been turned into stylish plush pillows. I’ve gotten a hold of the salmon roll pillow because what kind of a Jew would I be on Hanukkah if I wasn’t sleeping on top of a large piece of salmon? Exactly.

Currently all models are out of stock, but if you’re interested in obtaining one keep checking back. They’re bound to get more in eventually. Until then, use your R2D2 soy sauce bottle on some real sushi to hold yourself over.

I don’t know about you, but I’d find it quite difficult to take steps with this thing straddled in between my legs. Alas, it is Honda’s inevitable desire to give me blue balls with its latest device geared towards the disabled – the walking assist device with body weight support system. Honda is no stranger to assisted walking devices for the eldery, but it is treading in new waters by trying to get men to sit on this thing.

If that saddle wasn’t sitting uncomfortably underneath my package, the device would never reduce the load on leg muscles and joints. It’s supposed to support a portion of a person’s body weight with help from a seat that just crushes your junk. If you ask me, it looks as bad as some bike seats.

Even on Halloween, when you’re all hopped up on candy, using a mouse can be tiring. For the people who don’t use a vocally controlled mouse, you’re going to need a place to rest your hand. Good thing ThinkGeek is selling this foam wrist-rest that’s shaped like a disembodied hand. It’s perfect for October. $9.99 isn’t a bad price for either a wrist-rest or Halloween decoration. This hand doubles as both!

This robot may not be well versed enough in sports to partake in Robot Soccer, but it’s certainly lazy enough to be a sports fan. With three different modes of control: universal remote, beacon navigation, and thermal sensor following, the RoboStool tries its best to find you, so it can take the weight off your feet or die trying.

Labeled as furniture on demand, the RoboStool was created by Norris Labs, which was kind enough to post schematics to build your very own RoboStool.  You could have it eerily stalk your guests, unwilling to let anyone take a seat without having a comfortable footrest, but you’ll probably turn it into something that can make drinks, like a robot bartender.

For nearly $100,000, you’d expect one hell of a multimedia experience from a personal multimedia dome. It promises complete isolation, “brown-note bass” to induce shitting and the ability to roll around. You’ll be able to get the interior styled however you like if you’re a leather daddy and can get a video game console installed as well.

With a price tag like this, you’re probably better off dropping $1000 for a weekend at the W or a spa. Need complete isolation all the time? See a fucking doctor, you weirdo.

You’d think that your average white collar cubicle warrior would be hellbent on actually standing up and moving around when he’s not tied down to his office chair, but apparently, office workers just like to sit! The Briefcase Seat design from artists Joan Korbes and Denis Oudendijk provides cubicle workers a place to sit after their long day of, um… sitting?

Made using a standard briefcase, with a set of nylon straps crafted onto its body, the Briefcase Seat can be slung over any sturdy railing to provide a semi-comfortable seating arrangement for the time being. Or, you know, they could always just stand up for once. Kind of a bummer that there’s no toilet integration.

When you cruise around a city, sometimes you don’t feel like you want to go home just yet, but wouldn’t mind taking a little rest. When the city is packed, it’s a constant stream of bumping and jarring. Just let me find a spot to lay down. Wait. Oh, that’s right. Every thing’s made of concrete.

This interesting outfit design provides you with all you need for a comfortable chill spot, integrated right into your clothes. The cushioning might look pretty ridiculous, but comfort takes sacrifice. I’d much rather wear pajamas then a tuxedo to formal parties, but that’s how it is. — Andrew Dobrow
