Floating Drip Table
Looks like it’s floating, huh? Wrong, but you probably figured it out after a few seconds. Apparently, you’ll be able to buy one later this year here.

This Table Shows Whose Got The Gift Of Gab
We’ve all got a friend or coworker who talks too much. Now, without pointing the finger, you can implicate their ranting and ravings asses. The Reflect Table monitors the ongoing conversation with multiple microphones and shows via LED whose talking the ‘loudest/most’.

Slinky Like Expandable Chair
By: Tiffany Miller
At first glance this looks like an illusion, but by the end of the clip my mind was churning with all the potential uses for this, uh, contraption. The options are endless- chair, couch, ottoman, bed, table, or maybe even a work of art, if you’re into that kind of thing. It’s hard to tell from the video if this would actually be comfortable, but it couldn’t be any worse than the bean bag currently taking up residence in my hall closet. That said, the skeptical side of me questions the chair’s firmness; the women in the video don’t sink into it, but I wonder if it would buckle under the weight of heftier people (if you’ve ever seen a Chris Farley movie, you know what I’m talking about).
All in all, I appreciate the practicality of the design, but it’s just a little bit gimmicky (although still a step up from the bean bag). Survey says: I would consider buying it if it passes the firmness test, but it would probably end up in my hall closet after the novelty factor wears off. At least it would fit nicely.

Buckle Up Key Management System
The Buckle Key takes the ‘buckle up’ habit we’re all so familiar with in the car and applies it to the key management system. Attached to the wall is the female buckle part of the system. Attached to your keys is the male buckle. When you arrive home you simply ‘buckle up’ your keys.

2 Person Rumble Chair Goes Wireless
This isn’t the first rumble chair I’ve seen and it definitely won’t be the last. Believe it or not, for $250 you get a pretty good deal: 4 3″two way speakers, 2 subwoofers for game thumping action, dynamic vibration motors, sound responsive LEDs, RCA input/output and a headphone jack. It also includes a wireless transmitter to prevent your buddies from tripping over any chords and yanking your 360 or PS3 off the shelf. Oh yeah, I think it’s the first dual rumble chair.
Available here.

Interactive LED Coffee Table On The Simple
Throw in 480 bright LED lights and 32 near infrared optical sensors and you’ve got the “The Wave”, an interactive light emitting coffee table. Drag your arm, glass, or any object across the table and a wave of light will follow. Let the table sit idle and it will sparkle like the stars in the sky. “The Wave” is customizable and comes in a variety of glass finishes and colored LED lights. Did I mention that it’s built of “100% certified sustainable high-quality zero-formaldehyde maple plywood, and finished with a durable eco-friendly water-based finish”. Each table is built to order so expect a 10 week wait time and a price tag of just over $2,200.

Magnetically Floating Lounger Chair
I wrote about a ‘floating bed‘ back in July ‘06. It went for a cool $200,000 for a 1/5 scale model. The full scale went for over $1 million. Hoverit Lounger is essentially the same thing, but in an acrylic like lounge chair that you’d fine pool side at the hippest Hollywood hotel pool. It uses opposing magnets and costs a reasonable $11,500. Hoverit plans to release a fully cushioned version in March. The pics don’t really show full flotation but it’s good enough.
