BedFan, air-con for your bed: sweaty sleepers, sweat no more
I’m deeply suspicious of the BedFan. A cool breeze is one thing but a constant jet of air at my feet is another altogether…
New York City Walk/Don't Walk chair – cool, there's no other word for it
This has got to be by far and away the least comfortable looking chair I’ve ever seen but there my criticism of this Walk/Don’t Walk chair…
Jonas Samson's light-emitting wallpaper – imaginative, innovative & inspired
I’ve just started my Christmas list and this light-emitting wallpaper…
Private Ocean interacitve clock/speaker – super silly fish soother
The idea of this soothing, animated, bedside clock/speaker makes me purr. I’m purring.
I always had a dream of a room in my house where every inch of wall, floor and ceiling was a fish tank. I imagined sitting in blue-hued serenity as angel fish and mini-squid drift by with a blissed out smile on my face.

Some people would call a Swarovski-crystal covered coffee machine stupid. Because it is. However, if I was the kind of guy blew my nose on fifty pound notes, I’d probably buy a Nespresso Crystal coffee machine…
Glow swing – er, a swing that glows
Simple idea but very pleasing. Swedish designer Alexander Lervik has made this swing out of plastic and threaded it with fiber optics that glow in the dark.

When Captain Kirk reheats his king prawn bhuna, I’ll bet it’s in a microwave like this. No person in the future will be caught dead without one these exquisitely designed appliances set to become more of a fashion statement than a food-nuker.
So smooth and minimalist is Martin Zampach’s design…
Pole dancer alarm clock – funny for about minus five seconds
A sexy alarm clock could make it a little too hard to get out of bed in the mornings but fortunately there’s nothing remotely erotic about the pole-dancer on this timepiece…
