Joongho Choi’s concept table “Pixable” is supposed to be an artistic representation of pixels, which are described by the artist as “expanding the boundary of the art format since it replaces paper”. However my first thought, besides the fact that it looks like a bunch of cannibalized Rubik’s Cubes, it that it would have been the perfect piece of background furniture for Peter Gabriel’s “Big Time” video. It also reminds me of “Marble Madness”. Probably not the futuristic edge Joongho was looking for… Unless this thing was designed in 1975.

Yeah, you can control the temperature of waterbeds too—but the ’70s were a long time ago my friends. Surprisingly, it took this long for someone to develop a practical mattress with temperature control. If you are into the cool side of the pillow, that’s no problem since the mattress has a low temp of 48 degrees Fahrenheit. If you are perpetually chilly at night, crank that thing up to a max of 118 degrees.
The Cat In a Can provides no nutritional value but will give you a pet for those lonely nights. This cat needs no food and no litter box, all that is required to keep it around is proper inflation. No word if there are volume discounts for crazy cat ladies.

If you don’t own your house outright, a house and an apartment can appear pretty much the same: you spend a small fortune every month that allows you to keep living there, and if you stop the flow of cash for any reason, you’re out on your ass. Chances are both will offer the same lack of privacy as well, especially since they’ve decided to build newer subdivisions with a cool 6 feet of space between you and your neighbor. It seems the most significant difference is that living in an apartment allows you to use this snazzy rug. Makes the apartment more appealing, doesn’t it? An additional design is pictured after the break.
