I know that we are well into 2013 now, but there is this interesting Media Block Chair that was paraded at Digital Content Expo 2012 by TeamLab, where it has been described as this, “The Media Block Chair is a block-shaped object with three protruding sides and three indented sides. Protruding sides communicate information to indented sides. If a protruding side of a red block is connected to a blue receiving block, the blue block receives the red and becomes purple. Or, if a yellow block is placed on top of a purple block, the yellow turns to green. In this way, multiple blocks can be connected and colors change. ”

When functioning as a standalone piece of high-tech furniture, it would come in the form of a shining cube-shaped multi-purpose block which will double up as an illuminating showpiece in your living room, but when you want to get all Tetris with your living room or office, you can opt to connect blocks together by fitting protrusions into the respective indentations, where this will open up different possibilities such as the use of it as a bench, display furniture, or partition. Really, the sky’s the limit when it comes to your creativity (and budget, I would suppose).

Inspired by a story his grandmother used to tell him at dinner about how his fish balls would turn into a giant hairy hungry monster if he didn’t eat up, Jason Goh created this incredibly cozy looking Moyee Monster Chair. More »

Are you sitting down? Good. Because this interlocking Space Invaders chair will floor you. The pieces all interlock to create an oversize Space Invader that you can park your butt on.

It is called “Game Over” and comes from Italian design firm DOKC LAB. These chairs are put together from five separate interlocking pieces and it is all held together without any screws, glue or nails. Pure geek joy holds everything together.

I just hope that this awesome design becomes a reality, because I can’t get enough Invaders. I’m betting the chair would cost you more than a working Space Invaders arcade cabinet, but I think it would be worth it.

To kids, living room furniture already doubles as everything from fortresses, to mountains. to mansions for their action figures and dolls.

Alright kid, let’s blow this thing and go home… Check out this awesome X-Wing Fighter coffee table made from wood and glass. It looks stunning and it took Sean Regan and Aubrey Cohen 6 months to make it, carving it from a few hunks of wood.

I love how dimensional it is, because the top half and bottom half hold the glass between them. That makes it look pretty sweet and also keeps it sturdy. You can try to make one yourself if you want, but I doubt it will look half as good.

If you were to pay for it, at a cost of about $14 an hour, this would cost in the neighborhood of $60,500. You could probably buy a real X-Wing Fighter for that – at least a long time ago in a galaxy far, far away.
