Hasta La Gadget!

Most of us are too young to remember when televisions were black and white, and came in wooden cabinets. Heck, some of you guys might not even remember tube TVs. If you’d like to transform one of today’s most popular gadgets into a classic TV set, then check out the V-luxe iPad stand.

The V-luxe stand will hold all three generations of the iPad, and will make it totally look like an old television (with a 10″ screen), especially if you play some classic black-and-white video on it. The swivel stand allows you to view your tablet at a wide variety of angles. Each one of these stands is handmade from quality hardwoods by BKNYdesign, and has a speaker cabinet built into the base for listening to tunes or movies.

They’re available in mahogany, walnut, or cherry wood and will set you back $1500 (USD).

Wouldn’t it be grand if all the drawers, cupboards, and storage spots in your home were all see-through like MDC Interior’s new Glow Table II? The next time you were on the hunt for a misplaced item you wouldn’t have to tear apart drawers or open every single door in your house to find it. More »

Ian took an IKEA stainless steel kitchen work table, some IKEA computer tower desk trays, two steel tabletops, and two grated steel shelves and made a mobile “office” that could be packed away into a closet when not in use. Judging by the images, he did an awesome job. You can check out a more detailed image of the entire build here.

Well done Ian. How much do you want to bet this thing turns into a diaper changing table as well?

Here’s a new twist on the folding chair—why not fold it down the middle rather on the back? That’s exactly what Canadian designers Solveig Johannessen and Krystin Clarke did with OSSA, a wooden indoor/outdoor seat. And when you fold it up, as an added bonus, it looks like a vanquished AT-AT. More »
