We recently lifted up the cushions of our sofa and found a whole trove of coins, keys, books and assorted nicknacks hiding underneath. Our guess is that Japanese artist Daisuke Motogi had a similar experience. And that, the spirit of “If you can’t beat ‘em, join ‘em,” he designed the Lost In Sofa.
Here’s a goal list you can hang in your kitchen that looks cool, costs almost no money and is something you can make yourself.
The Metrofarm Bed features an angled headrests that helps you chill in bed in an optimal position. But, really, this vondrous-looking bed is less about anything practical and more about falling asleep surrounded by walnut.
Most bookshelves are for squares. But not the A2 Angle Shelf by Seattle-based designer Sara Larsson. It features 18 cubby holes, each with a different shape. The cubbies in the middle row all have an angled bottom, letting books stay upright sans bookend.US$1,753
If you are a paranoid sort, have an open bottle of 1787 bottle of Château Lafite Bordeaux in your fridge and/or live with a teenager, the Combination Wine Bottle Lock is for you. The stainless steel stopper fits in most wine and liquor bottles. Once in place and locked (it takes a bit of muscle to firmly press it down) it can’t be pried off. The combination is programmable—just don’t forget it. $20
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.
