No, Yu-Ying Wu's "breathing chair" is not really a giant chunk of tasteless protein, but it will automatically form to your body as you sit, turning from tofu to armchair with the weight of your body. But beyond intriguing design, the chair is built from a springy plastic compound with enough resistance that it will actually help lift you out of the chair when standing, relieving some pressure from your knees.

Wu's chair is still just in the design stage, which is a shame, because my butt is hungry. [CCTV via Core77 via DVICE]

On the other hand, buying one might prove problematic. It appears that the 1666 and DCCCXVII A.U.C. (64 AD in the Julian calendar) are only in the prototype stage at the moment. [BBM via Core77]

Available in black, orange or untreated steel, these 29-inch Re-vive legs from Cohda Design can accommodate tabletops up to 66 lbs without the need for drills or screws. The effect is an unparalleled, industrial-level look, but it'll cost you about $440 for a set, or over $100 a leg.

But hey, we knew Tyler Durden had the soap fund for some reason. [Cohda Design via Core77]

This lamp is of a similar mindset.

Wrapped in its own cord, the lamp will rarely be out of reach from the nearest socket...pending a little deconstruction. Buy yours for $150, or bring your own cord for $75. Or, and I'm sure you're mind has beaten me here, build your own entirely for like $5. [Craighton Berman via CoolestGadgets via OhGizmo!]

Once balanced at a 70-degree angle upon reclaimed oak, your LCD will gleam with a new stature. Just as glasses can make a dumb person an instant intellectual, so too can the TV easel turn reality TV into episodic documentaries—a chronicle of human struggle to find a plus-sized soulmate while overcoming the occasional bungee jumping into water to grab things challenge.

This is Cannes-level shit we're talking about.

I know it's expensive, but there's no other way. We can't turn the feed off. It'd be like yanking out one of those metal rods that connects your skull to the Matrix. Our bodies would go limp on the couch, unable to lift themselves from the...wait, maybe life wouldn't be so different after all. [Restoration Hardware via Uncrate]

What sort of demonic deity requires such inconvenient worship in 2009? (Ed note: Satan, that's who. And the ghost of Laura Ingalls Wilder, natch.)

Regardless, the Candle Quick is a sort of wax fondue pot that will melt of tops off old candles so you can once again gain access to the wick. But while the Candle Quick promises to pay for itself in just one use, we've never dropped its $25 asking price on a candle before. Our Dark Lord is a notorious spendthrift. And Satan is pretty cheap, too. [Taylor Gifts via Random Good Stuff via DVICE]

The Spoticam security lamp, available in white or aluminum, elicits the feeling of being monitored while simultaneously providing a convenient, bendable light source. Your friends and family won't trust your assertions that it's just a lamp, of course, and it won't be long until everyone refuses to visit your apartment. But that's OK. The thrill of exploring your own nasal cavity with CCTV is more than enough entertainment on a Friday night to balance out a general lack of company. [Antrepo via MoCo Loco via DVICE via OhGizmo!]

The BedBunker is a 1300lb 10 gauge steel strongbox that locks your arsenal away safely with a hydraulic gas-assist piston—even in a fire. Withstanding up to 1533 degrees for 2 hours, the BedBunker keeps your guns safe from your extensive napalm collection, making $2,200+ a small price to pay for a good night of your guns' sleep. [BedBunker via Uncrate via OhGizmo!]

The set includes icons for Photoshop, Illustrator, After Effects, Flash, InDesign, and Dreamweaver. That should be enough for anyone, but if you want to go the extra mile you might want to pick up a Photoshop shirt. The idea is that while wearing it and sitting on your Adobe couch, you physically complete the theme. [mysuitestuff via Design Milk]

Armani's Calyx (yes, that Armani) is a kitchen outfitted with decadent wood veneers, glass and woven metal...all of which are masked behind floor-to-ceiling doors. Armani calls the effect a "discreet environment." I'd call it a cold and soul-sucking hospital room.

Besides, I'd over-stuff that kitchen like a WASP's linen closet. There would be no end to the bright orange corners of Cheetos bags making their way through the door cracks, Man's subconscious urge for untamed wilderness playing out in a quiet protest. [WIDN and SaukValley via BornRich]

The Jesper chair is an ingenious seat offering neither back support nor acknowledgment of male anatomy. Presumably, the sitter's weight is pushed forward, meaning that the illusion of resting one's arms will soon be overcome with the reality of a persistent half push-up, and young Jesper-seated gamers may or may not grow up to spawn offspring.

But hey, just $70! [Ian Bogost via Kotaku]

Completely portable, the $970 stainless steel Vidro fireplace requires only gelled ethanol fuel to burn a smokeless flame in your home. The two glass panels do seem superfluous to the structure, as they can't possibly be that effective in keeping out fingers/toes/cats. Yet the design is still missing a big something.

And I call that something a pig-loaded spit. Because what is it worth to have all the open air fireplaces in the world but no pork roasting atop them? [panik via DVICE]

(Commenters are urged to photoshop their meat of choice roasting over the Vidro.)

Fitting in a standard bulb socket, the mercury-free Master LED bulb sips just 7W while burning up to 45,000 hours, or about 30x the length of a normal bulb. It's actually already available in parts of Europe (we can't spot a price, anyone out there know? UPDATE: About $50-$70), but with the proper retail availability, I could see an LED light with this form factor exciting the mainstream US public, couldn't you?

Philips also has a few other models coming that you can check out at the link. [Philips via Core77]

Sure, the Relief Chair only looks gadgety, but it's causing somewhat of a splash in the crazy world of textiles. By designer Ben Mickus, the chair is an artistic exploration of what can be done with felt. It might not be comfortable, and it's certainly not affordable. But the temporary, geometrical skin indentations it will leave down your spine will look totally wicked. [Mickus Projects via Core77]

Looking past the creepy android mockup for a moment, the Glow Mirror is actually a pretty interesting product. Layered with photo luminescent material, the mirror illuminates, allowing you to better see yourself at night. Though we prefer the secondary function of looking perpetually brighter than the rest of the world, supported by a faint Saiyan-esque aura.

In sizes up to five feet in width, the Glow Mirror's price is available upon request. [Generate Design via bltd]
