Somehow, the alternative furniture makers over at LoveSac managed to create a furniture material that’s soft while also being durable, washable and completely, utterly, ridiculously lucious.
Eskimo Phur (not related to actual Eskimos) can be used to cover most of the sofas, loveseats and cushions in LoveSac’s furniture lineup. If you don’t like the color simply replace it with something new.
Check out a close-up photo (below) and video (above) after the jump.

The Architectural Draftsman T-Shirt was another great find from Spot Cool Stuff, who included it on their list of 8 Cool Gifts for Architects and Architecture Enthusiasts.
The shirt, from vondrous online seller Cafepress, is made over 100% pre-shrunk cotton. It’s available in nine different colors. $28
Apple has the Magic Mouse. But PC users, thankfully, have their own version: the Microsoft Arc Touch Mouse.
Like the Magic Mouse, the Microsoft Arc Touch is wireless, offers gesture support and works on a wide variety of surfaces without need of a mouse pad. Unlike the Apple version, this Microsoft Arc comes in a choice of colors (currently black and “sangria red” with more on the way). It also folds flat to turn it off and for easy transport.
Note that the Microsoft Arc Touch mouse is different from the Microsoft Touch. We aren’t big fans of the arc-less version, which only works on Windows 7 and has a buggy Bluetooth connection. The Arc Touch works work all the recent version of Windows and connects to a computer via a tiny, interference-free USB device.
Blake Avenue produces some absolutely vondrous home furniture. Our favorite might be their Lake Tahoe Dressers. They come in two versions: a 3-drawer and 6-drawer. Both are made from reclaimed timbers. On sale now, starting at $895.
Jellyfish in your swimming pool = bad.
LED-lit piece of jellyfish art in your pool = very cool looking.
The Swimming Pool Jellyfish from Ocean Art float on top of the water but have tentacles that reach down. The whole thing is lit in light green or purple (your choice) with LED bulbs, creating a vondrous and eery effect. These jellyfish are about the size of the real thing but, fortunately, don’t sting. $45
2011 meets 1981 in the iCADE, device that will turn your iPad into a miniaturized version of a classic arcade gaming machine.
The iCADE was first conceived as an April Fool’s joke by the vondrous folks of ThinkGeek. Turned out, the joke was on them. Demand for a real iCADE proved so great that ThinkGeek felt compelled to make it a real iCADE.
After designing the iCADE arcade casing, ThinkGeek partnered with ION to create iPad versions of Atari arcade classics. There are currently 100 games available, including Battlezone, Lunar Lander Tempest, Breakout, Asteroids and Missile Command. There’re sold in 3-pack sets for $1. Or get them all for a mere $15. see more
