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.

It’s called Airboard, from Arbortech. And is a new thrill in sporting. Adjust your balance, change your weight from one side to another, and you can turn from 180º to 360º. The new gadget can take you to unimagined fun. Simply ride it, or try twists and moves, it promises fun. It is apparently, identical to those used at Sydney 2000 Olympic Games.
Airboard is a petite gasoline powered personal hovercraft or a propeller driven vehicle, that has an electric start. Start it up, hop on board, adjust the throttle and move on. Its makers say it is easy to control, maintain and ideal for riders who are aged above 14 years.
The handle bar has two levers, one to lift the engine speed and another to thrust. By bending backwards, a small propelling wheel at the rear of the vehicle can be used to touch the ground to help accelerate the hovercraft.

Some things just have to be done on a big screen. Take the World of Warcraft games, for instance, how could you ever think of playing it on a 12 inch screen laptop? No, you absolutely require something with a bigger screen!
Some gaming systems have come out with dual and triple screens but often come attached with the kind of price tags that makes most of us fear our hearts may give way. This latest feature by AMD comes as a blessing for those individuals who always wished they could connect multiple displays and make up one big solo screen.

The avid gamers will be glad to know that here is a chance to enjoy the virtual world of racing even more. The CNE racing simulator is a wonderful amalgamation of design and performance. This fun machine will allow you to feel a thrill never experienced before. We were quite taken up by the streamlined looks, especially the graceful arc design in the front region. The acrylic anterior decorative plates complement the whole design.
By the way, there are noble stickers too. The high-grade leather racing seats are adjustable. A lot of thought has gone into making this chair very comfortable for the user; the cushion-y back support of the chair is one such example. And the quality of stimulation is huge ensured by a rather extensive wiring system which is well concealed.
