Bibliochase Book Chair

Bibliochase Chair
If you’re book worm the Bibliochase book-chair is a must.

This chair will hold literally hundreds of books of all sizes while keeping every one of them right at your fingertips.

It’s a great storage piece as well as just a jazzy piece of furniture. Right now it seems it is only available in Italy and France but hopefully will make its way over to the US sometime soon.


Rolling Shelf

Rolling Shelf Obviously shelving is a good thing to have. The problem comes in when you’ve got that rogue item or three that are just too tall to fit any of the shelving you currently have set up.

That’s where Cat Greene’s ingenious rolling shelf comes in to play.

Using Kevlar to help hold the rolling wood items together, certain sections of shelving can be rolled up or out depending on the items you’d like to store.


Tempo Digital Trash Can

Tempo Storage

Tempo, currently just a figment of imagination, is a snazzy new way to handle both file storage and the issue of accidentally deleting files.

When you delete a file, it’s automatically transferred to Tempo so you have an ongoing backup of your trashed files. An example of use would be that you accidentally delete a document but do not realize it for a couple of weeks. Good thing you’ve got your Tempo. Just check it for deleted files and chances are it’s there.

No word yet on if this will ever go in to production but it’s certainly a cool idea.

Well if you’re looking for a way to freak out house guests, show them this sweet little doggy lamp that turns in to a skeleton when you plug it in.

Made from lightweight polypropylene, this little (around 1 foot tall) doggy lamp looks innocent enough right up until you turn on the lightbulb inside it. After which it turns in to a skeleton doggy that’s sure to give any grandma a bit of a scare.

It’s available at Angry Retail for about $90.

Amazing wooden toys

Wooden Toy

Unfortunately my Japanese is a bit rough (read: I don’t know a lick of Japanese), but what I do know is that these wooden toys from take-g are amazing. I’ve really never seen such fun and playful woodwork executed so amazingly well.

If anyone has any information on where these could be purchased, please let me know.

The Smiley Bowl

Smiley Bowl
The last thing I need is some bowl or plate that begs me to eat the food on it but here we are and this bowl is looking right at me and literally “smiling”…just begging for me to stick my hand in it.

The Smiley Bowl is a winner of this years Formland Design Award and is crafted out of mouth-blown glass. It is purposely shaped to appear as though it is smiling at you.

It is available in lime, orange, turquoise, red and black (something for every season/occasion) for around $90 per bowl (handmade kitchenware comes at a price). It should be available from Eva Solo this fall.
