Mattress Wallet

The Mattress Wallet not only holds your money, but also provides that mouse in your pocket with a great place to sleep.

Don’t feel like spending the rest of your life in prison? Then you’d best leave that “Do Not Remove Under Penalty of Law” tag exactly where it is, even if it does bulge from your pocket. What’s with those tags anyway? I bet it’s some tracking device. Can’t they let me live in peace? LEAVE ME ALONE! THE VOICES! THEY WON’T STOP! AHHH!

giant-ipod

If your lucky enough to pal around with people like Senior VP of Industrial Design for Apple, Jonathan Ive, than you might be fortunate enough to receive really unique gifts for your birthday. Designer friend of Ive, Paul Smith, received his gigantic iPod Nano from Ive and Ive’s Apple co-worker Jody.

In reaction to the gift, Smith said “as the real thing gets smaller, he sends me a giant version.” Hey, Ive, you wanna go grab a bite sometime?

Lined Paper Pencil Case

Looking for some much needed flash to accompany you in academia? The ultra-realistic Lined Paper Pencil Case is designed to look like a fresh piece of standard lined paper.

The only hazard I could find with this case is that it could easily be confused with a stray scrap of paper and chucked into the trash. Just keep an eye on what you’re writing on or your homework might wind up on your case.

“WTF, Not What I Thought” Lamp: No, Really… WTF?

wtflamp

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.

Get Whipped Into Shape With Whip Footwear

whipshoes

When a problem comes along, you must whip it. Am I right or am I right? Totally just made that up. Sounds like I could write a whole song just with that concept. I’ll whip it up a little later and I’ll whip it good. But for now, let’s check out these awesomely kinky heels, perfect for both private moments in the bedroom, an Indiana Jones theme party or a night at your local transsexual dominatrix parlor.

Because before you’re whipped into shape, you’ll actually need a whip. The whip footwear is now sold-out, but it was fetching a hefty $800.

3D Chessboard Places King At the Peak

3dchess

Don’t you wish that your chessboard could sometimes be more attuned to the fantasy of an epic battle? This 3D Chessboard by Ji Lee makes your game look more like an epic massacre on a jagged mountain than a head to head clash on a simple plain.

The newly designed 3D terrain adds a completely new dimension to the already classic game of chess. The King looks even less obtainable now that he is set on his own little pedestal with his deadly wife. Totally worth getting excited over.

Chromochrome Clock and Light

Here’s a bedside light and clock that looks like something the infamous TokyoFlash would come up with. It’s a clock represented by different colored lights. You read the clock left to right and each different color is a specific number. I’m sure with a little training, you could get it down pat but imagine waking up at 3:27 AM trying to figure out what time it is. Seems like a hassle. At least it makes for great mood lighting. $75, no colorblind people please.

Wine Packaging Converts To Lamp

Imagine if you received a bottle of wine as a gift. Not bad, right? Now imagine if the box that the wine came in could turn into a lamp. Yes, you read correctly. That’s how the boxes from Cava wines work. Even a bulb and ballast setup is included so you can light things up from the start. Ease the mood for the ladies, pour a glass of Shiraz and off come the panties. What more could you ask for from a bottle of wine? No recession talk, please.

P8tch Things Up With MILF Hunter

See this patch that looks like it belongs on a messenger bag from 1994, right next to that goofy Nirvana logo? Good. First off, it’s not a patch like on your mommy’s quilt, it’s a P8tch. It features a special barcode that your cellphone (possibly) can scan. When scanned, the “patch” takes you to the URL of your choice. Have a popular tech blog you want people to know about? Need MILF Hunter readily available from wherever you are? This is your solution. And cheap it is not. One of these URL-encoded P8tches will run you $20 + shipping from the UK. Fucking brilliant.
