Old people sitting on this park bench had better by spry enough to hop off it before the spikes extend and tear through their delicate crotchal areas.
Designed by Fabian Brunsing, the Pay & Sit bench would charge weary customers half a Euro to sit unmolested for a set amount of time. As the end approaches, a warning will sound to alert the sitter that spikes will soon rise to violate them.
Can’t embed spikes in the grass Brunsing, so that’s where I would be sitting. I’ll take my chances with the ants.
Geoff Trapp designed this awesome Predator Batsu for NECA but he says they declined to mass produce it. Why the hell would they do a dumbass thing like that you ask? Good question.

It’s not often that a battery pack can grab your attention, but this version designed to look like the iPhone icon sure can. It appears as though this is a real product by essential tpe, but so far efforts to find the product for sale have been unsuccessful. That’s too bad because it is clearly an awesome idea.

Tony Stark is a big Star Wars fan but, unfortunately, he was crushed to death while suiting up inside his tribute Mark R2-D2.
Seriously though, this is an awesome mock-up by artist Mike Verta.

Mia Schmallenbach’s Meeting Knives set features a paring knife, a carving knife, a chef’s knife and a filleting knife tucked inside each other like a nesting doll. The proportions of each knife were determined by the Fibonacci sequence, which earns it added nerd points.
Get a load of this mind-bending bookshelf design by Bjørn Jørund Blikstad. My brain would be spent before I actually retrieved the book. Fortunately, the stuff I’m reading isn’t all that taxing.
Novelties like pirate toasters and Darth Vader toasters are all the rage, so why not Space Invaders?

For the most part, I can’t stand wallpaper—but I have to admit that this RGB wallpaper design from Italian studio Carnovsky would be bad ass in a club. Each features overlapping illustrations that are revealed when either red, green or blue light is applied.
Check out the gallery after the break to see how the wallpaper above looks in different light.
