There is absolutely nothing more important than finding the perfect seating option for your living room so that you can relax and rejuvenate after a long and exhausting day’s work. The Stretching Massage Chair from Hammacher Schlemmer is something that falls into exactly the above mentioned category- relaxing, rejuvenating and pampering your senses. At the touch of a button on it’s specially designed remote you can take it back by 90 degrees to offer a very comfortable seating position as you watch your favorite show. Then you can stretch it all the way back parallel to the ground so that your aching back receives a complete rest.

The chair uses Human Touch Technology, a mechanical massage technique endorsed by the World Federation of Chiropractic. The special technology uses four pronged massage rollers that give you the feeling of a masseur’s touch as they give you a gentle and comforting massage. Bringing a calming influence to your evenings, the chair can replicate the kneading, rolling, compression, and percussion techniques used by professional massage therapists.

Ping pong isn’t a very strenuous sport but the English aristocrats who invented it made it a most stylish one. Whether you play a game of ping pong at the dinner table for amusement or at a real table for the sheer joy of winning over a component, table tennis has come a long way as a much admired sport.

Somewhere along the way, though, table tennis lost much of its appeal as a sport but all that is going to change when people lay their eyes on the chrome ping pong table. Designed by Buenos Aires- born contemporary artist Rirkrit Tiravanija, the ping pong table carries all the allure of style, luxury and the raw call of the sport itself. Designed for Nathalie Karg’s Cumulus Studio, the ping pong table is mirror polished in stainless and only 10 units of the limited edition collection would be made.

Steampunk is a design trend that is really catching on with even some mainstream designers taking inspiration from those who love to rev it up and create that unusual yet unique look. The Millennium Chess Table is a wonderful example of the perfect Steampunk design integrated with cool features that make it a truck load of fun. Build to please the Star Wars loyal, the table follows the design of the ship religiously and with meticulous detail. The 50 seconds of music and lighting that emanates from the in-built flash drive mimics the scene from movie as well.

The designs of the table along with its audio and video capabilities make it an exclusively unique piece, that the maker claims would not be repeated by him. Of course, he promises to make non-Steampunk-styled versions of the table and sell them off.

I know, it sounds like a Photoshop gimmick that just made its way onto the net, but when we double checked this claim it turns out that it actually is true! So, there are many car fanatics across the globe (millions) and many others who specifically love the Porsche, but surely none can compete with the sheer craziness of Gil Dezer. This dud was wacky enough (and we mean that in a real good way) to actually take the help of a crane, go through plenty of trouble and let go of a driving option to put a 1950 Porsche Spyder 550 on the top of his 8,000-square-foot condo! And when you look at it, it does look like the work of Spiderman; just that there are no strings attached!

It took an entire team of technicians, a crane and plenty of modifications to get the Spyder 550 up there and now Gil can control its headlights and horn from a touchscreen placed besides the door. Cool and crazy at the same time Gil could obviously afford to hang a car for as an indoor decorative as he own another 7 Porsches too (We told you he was a fanatic!)

Christmas is just a month away, and so this is just the right time for brands to launch their festival specials. Take Bentley for instance, that has just released its new selection of child seats that go pretty well with the Flying ‘B’. Well, the colors of the seat are the same as the rest of the car interior, hand-stitching included.

So you get a very bright combination of black and red that not only keeps your child safe and comfy but looks good too. We are quite glad to see this product by Bentley for most of the brand’s, and its peers’, creations are meant for the grown up world only. Not many think of the young turks that we want to pass the car-lover bloodline to.

Whoever said that getting the kind of music that makes you want to shake your booty or lull you into the land of the most wondrous dreams while also providing the kind of comfort that your lovely body deserves, is not possible is so very wrong! Great music quality and luxury in furniture comes together in this age, especially when you have designers like Martin Emila who dares to think chic.

The Media Chair knows just what you need and will give you the best in sound quality. The chair is fitted with speakers so strategically located that you do not just receive the music but would feel that you have been embedded within the musical notes itself! A touchpad on the armrest ensures you need not travel away from the chair to change the music or any other settings.

The Media Chair offers different possibilities for interested buyers in terms of selecting the colour of the fantastically designed chair. You can even choose the type and colour of the upholstering on the chair. Unfortunately, after making all those choices, it would be hard to get your hands on because this car is just a concept.

Antique collectors, may we have your attention please? We just came across this bit of news which might just add some excitement to your lives that forever wait for some gorgeous piece to add to your collection. Hyde Park Antiques in New York is selling a pair of exquisite Regency rosewood and Parcel Gilt game tables. And when we say ‘exquisite’ we totally mean ‘exquisite’!

Each of these tables have a rectangular top that has been lined with leather to make for a real classy gaming surface. We are quite taken up by the boldly craved acanthus edges that yell royal luxury in your face, and tell you very frankly, no one seems to mind it. And then there is a peneled frieze set between the foliate-carved corbels.

Furniture comes in all kinds of shapes and styles. It comes with whacky material thinking too.

Stephane Perruchon has used such thinking and gone ahead to design a coffee table inspired by a playstation, the base of which is made up of two huge PS3 controllers. The table is complete with two handles made of ABS and also decorated with the buttons. And is sure to remind you of those countless hours you spent with the joystick and indulged in some virtual fantasy.
It is available only in black and white versions, so go ahead and design your room décor around it. The table may be worth the effort for all you know.  He sure must have been a gaming enthusiast himself at some point.
Call that a geeky table if you want. But the thoughtfully designed piece can enliven your room with a super cool feel. Or still better, make it look like a dorm room. For, while the table is delicately stylish, it is very sturdy too.
Stephane Perruchon had earlier designed hanging the design cool Babylon fireplaces which were great.

How often have you caught sleep on that train to work, while you hung on to a rod? Or wished you could fall asleep after a tired day’s work somewhere on the road without hurting yourself?

Did you know you can fall asleep standing now? It is true. Coming to the aid of those suffering from sleep deprivation woes is Vertical Bed frame which collapses into a brief case. How does it exactly work?

All you need to do is, to attach this Vertical Bed to the subway ventilation grill, and it will support your body weight with ease. The package has noise-cancelling headphones, opaque sunglasses, and a free standing umbrella.

You can shut your eyes with no disturbances at all. You don’t even have to lie down or squeeze yourself into a seat for those precious winks.

Vertical Bed was tested at Broadway and 33rd Street in New York for a 40 minute nap at 6 pm. The individual’s naps were repeated at four hour intervals in a polyphasic sleep schedule. He could smell the cologne of passersby and dreamed of a subversive van. It is made with the help of LMCC’s Swing Space Program.

It addresses the need for adjustable private spaces within open offices. It helps create flexible partitions without disturbing the aesthetics of the surroundings. Eclipse Office Partition System that has been the result of work by Australian designer Marcus Ward Curran, is a modular workplace that can not only evolve and adapt to the needs of privacy and interaction change during the course of the day.

It takes into account the current office needs of desks, spot furniture, and distributed possession of furniture. Its four main components are, the hot desk, pattern table, table partition and full size partition. Every one of its components, when used along with others, can deceptively allow a space to get divided into a meeting area, a private space or a breakout zone. The components are movable and flexible, which is what gives the offices their much needed freedom of layout while letting privacy thrive within an open office space.
