Artist Rodrigo Alonso has found a new use for old tech by turning it into some awesome looking stools. The process involves dumping the obsolete technology into square molds, filling them with resin, and creating a stool that will provide a unique look to your home or office while serving as a not so subtle reminder of where your current gadgets will eventually wind up.

After fighting your way through construction zones to get back home, the last thing you probably want to see on the dining room table is traffic cones. The one advantage to these is that rather than choking off much needed traffic lanes, they steer each person to the correct seat. These also have the advantage of not being large enough for the drunkards to wear them as a hat after a few too many.

Since we still have a day to squeeze in those last few Halloween related products, here’s a skull chair, spine lamp and what appears to be a brain ottoman, which must have been removed from the skull in order to make way for ass. I guess it could also be an intestine cube, but who cares? Either way you’ll have a place to put your feet up.

What separates a rich man from a hobo? When a rich man sits on a 50 gallon drum it has cushions, swanky European brand names, and falls into the “recycled” category. And oh yeah, he gets to pay $417 for the privilege. An additional design is pictured after the break.
Let’s say these chairs are only offered in the numbers 0,2 & 8, as they appear to be. If you’re sitting in “0″, you’re the master of ceremonies and can do no wrong. If you’re in the #2 chair, you’re an important friend and confidant, but still a distant second to “0″. And the only person uncool enough to be sitting in the number 8 chair is me the person who was accidentally invited or only needed to fill out a room. If you’re in that chair prepare for a night of crippling humiliation.

According to the product page, the Adult Fun Stool is a “unique invention for self-pleasure” that can be used as a “fun novelty stool” when not in use. I don’t know about you, but if I see this in someone’s house it is time to go (not to mention time to burn my clothes and dip myself in bleach).

Apparently, the idea for a portable seat cushion named CritBuns came from observing art students critiquing the work of their peers. Generally, that involves sitting on hard benches, crappy chairs or the floor for extended periods of time (the “Crit” in CritBuns). The design itself was inspired by the charcoal butt prints that often rubbed onto the bottom of the student’s pants whist seated. Seriously, you can’t make this stuff up.
