Actually not… The Impossible Lamp by Jeeves Basu has been designed so that it initially melts to create the shade but after the shade has formed it doesn’t melt anymore. Crazy, I know!
Switch on a lamp made of wax and it should melt and disintegrate in seconds. But due to the unique way it has been designed, the Impossible Lamp does not. It is a lamp made of wax that works without melting.
Check out a video of this thing in action after the break. Read More

Every tool box needs a bottle opener and the Cast Iron Wrench Bottle Opener ($30) will blend in perfectly. You know, so the boss doesn’t think you’re drinking on the job.

These are awesome. Such a better use than just trashing your used ink cartridges. You can get your own Ink-Cartridge Chandelier ($150) from the BoxLight Etsy store.
The translucent cartridges look fantastic as a hanging lamp. Each of these is carefully cracked open, dremel-ed, drilled, wired up, and turned into a glowing box of light! Great gifts for graphic designers or anyone in visual arts. Available colors include matte black, cyan, light-cyan, magenta, light-magenta, yellow, light-black, and light-light-black.

You won’t want to hide this guy under the sink. First because it looks awesome and second The Radius First Aid Box cost $70-$125. I wouldn’t mind having one of these in the office as long as I don’t have to pay for it.

Tired of normal coat hooks and want something a little more industrial? I don’t know maybe to make it look like you destroyed a perfectly good claw hammer? If so then you need to pick up the Claude Coat Hook ($16) I will admit this looks pretty sweet.

These have possibly the greatest candles ever! I know that sounds a little gay but hold on… In the words of Koi Kouture (the artist behind this creation) these are Mandles($28). What the hell is a mandle you ask? Well let let me explain. A mandle is a 220z Rogue beer bottle turned into a candle holder. Pretty kick ass right? Well the mandle magic doesn’t stop there. Mandles are candles that smell like manly things because vanilla scented candles in teacups are for chicks! You pick the scent and the bottle
Here are the scents you can choose from:
HOOTERS WAITRESS SCENTED: Suntan Oil with the faint smell of old deep fryer oil.
HUNGRY MAN TV DINNER SCENTED: Roast Beef with Creamed Corn (real enough to make you throw up in your mouth a little)
STRIPPER BREATH SCENTED: Watermelon Jolly Rancher with a little stale smoke
HAM & CHEESE SANDWICH ON RYE SCENTED: Ham and cheese on rye…with a tiny bit of mustard. This scent is awesome!
MUNCHIES SCENTED: Fritos with an underlying layer of dried pot and a tiny bit of smoke.
CARNY: Cotton Candy and Corn Dogs…with a little motor oil.
TRAILER PARK: Motor Oil, Fresh Dirt and despair (not really)
CAMPING: Roasted Marshmallow and campfire
OH NO, IT’S THE COPS!: Coffee and Donuts
ROAD TRIP: Beef Jerky
OLD SPICE (Because the new commercials are amazing!)
PINK STARBURST: Just like the pink starburst!
SPRING BREAK: Suntan oil
CRAZY OLD FISHERMAN: Fishing Boat and Old Spice
AXE BODY SPRAY: Just like the one your little brother in college wears.
FRESH CUT GRASS: Men love nothing more than mowing the lawn and drinking a beer.
LEATHER: Just like the leather couch in a bachelor pad

A lot of people are against plastic water bottles these days so here’s a nice alternative. It’s the Vapur Anti-bottle($9) and it’s a reusable BPA-free, foldable bottle that you can roll up when empty and stash back in your bag.
I actually think this is a pretty good idea especially for the outdoors types. There’s an integrated carabiner to help it hang around, you can freeze it full of water and it will even go into the dishwasher on the top shelf. It has a small label allowing the bottle to be personalized with the user’s name. Perfect for outdoor using. Priced at $8.95 each, or $29.95 for a four-pack. Great idea! Read More

Have you ever had the urge to sit on 1600 pencils? Me either… well at least not until I saw this. Boex 3D Creative Solutions designed this bench inspired from a single conversation to see if they could incorporate an everyday office object into a piece of furniture. Design wise I think it looks awesome but I still don’t think it will be very comfortable.

This cool looking thing is the Wolfgang Keyboard Bench by designer Nolan Herbut. It uses 2000 keys embedded into a layered Baltic birch wood. Just like a keyboard you can press each key so you get that nice little clicking sound when you move around. For some this might be a sensory overload but it’s probably more comfortable than a bench made out of 1600 pencils.

Meat and Beer night is one of my favorite nights ever, sadly it only happens about once a month now that I’m a “grown up”. The Doormat Scale would be perfect for those glorious occasions. You can weigh in and weigh out. That or you can piss off your buddy’s girlfriends. Apparently it’s not nice to ask how much they weigh…
