So, what's your best guess? It's around 16" deep, with one side about 4.5" in length and the other about 7.5". It's not a table per se, but it does function as a surface. (Hint: it has something to do with a sofa.) As you can see from the image above, it's an arm wrap for your sofa. (The name is actually 'couch arm wrap', but I belong to the...Read more

A self-generating digital camera? That means it's capable of self-generated power by its own solar panel or charged manually with a hand crank. Don't worry though, you can manually charge it via USB if you're lazy and there's no sun. It can take still shots and video with sounds and has many modern functions with a retro look. Pretty intriguing, to say the least, and some might even say necessary...Read more

Prepare yourself for a higher-than-normal price tag, and then admire how this lamp hides most of its technical side under a very simple and clean exterior.

Okay, bear with me here, I know this just looks like a regular curtain rod/bracket, but it has something the sets it apart, and if you've ever been annoyed by light creeping in around your curtains- at night or in the morning- you'll understand why this particular one is special. The Twilight bracket wraps around so that your curtains can lay flat against the wall. Such a small detail, but...Read more

How about a handmade carafe or two (or three)? Carafes are the sort of thing you think you don't need, and then when you have one you realize just how useful they can be. The larger sizes would be appropriate for water, juice, or wine at the table, while the smaller size could work for milk or cream during coffee/tea time. Made of French porcelain, these carafes are more durable...Read more

Would you like to back another Kickstarter campaign? How about a ready-to-assemble rocking stool? Three options allow for three different rocking motions, and, best of all, the stools can be made in a city close to you and shipped with minimal charge- instead of overseas. And, if you want to make the stool yourself (and have access to a CNC machine), you can download the CAD file for free. Designed...Read more

If you spend any time in the wilderness, you'd do well to add one of these to your emergency kit. It's a water purifying straw that removes "99.9999% of waterborne bacteria and 99.9% of parasites without any use of chemicals." That'll be a lifesaver if you're ever lost or- doomsday scenario- if some disaster strikes and makes the regular water supply unsafe to drink. Better to be prepared, right? Product...Read more

If guitars, drums, violins, and many other instruments are made of wood, why aren't most headphones? Wood offers more resonance than plastic or metal, so it makes sense to incorporate them into a listening device so near and dear to our ears. And, with every pair you purchase, LSTN sends the proceeds to charity partners for the deaf, so that one child gets medical attention and a custom fit hearing...Read more

Flat-panel LED technology makes quite the difference, as seen in the specs of this Cielo Pendant Light. It lasts for 50 thousand hours or 25 years of daily use. Pretty different from those regular bulbs we all had (and may still have) in our homes. LED technology has allowed this efficiency, and in the case of this lamp, it used only 8 watts of power. Contrast that with a regular...Read more
