Screw Chair: Probably More Comfortable Than A Bed of Nails
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... Continue reading
A Pillow Worth Drooling On
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... Continue reading
Honda’s Walking Assist For The Sackless
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... Continue reading
Disembodied Hand Prevents Wrist Fatigue
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! Link [via]
RoboStool Is The Stalker You’ve Always Wanted
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... Continue reading

Personal Drug Den: $100,000 Plastic Egg
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... Continue reading

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... Continue reading
