Fair Share Cake Plate, Hands Off Kid!
You know what we hate? When people get all up in our cake. You know what we're talking about. You've got a sweet banana cream or a succulent red velvet, and then, you know, someone gets all up in your cake. What's with that? With this plate, you can measure your cake consumption—or more appropriately—the consumption of others. That's right. Put down the cake, kid. That 2mm is ours. And we're gonna eat it. (The cake.)

Space Intruderz Lamps Invade Our Hearts
I know what you're thinking. These Space Intruderz lamps look a lot like they're ripping off a certain classic video game. But contrary to popular belief, there were no aliens in Pac-Man. Those were ghosts. Ghosts. So these Space Intruderz lamps by Unison Idea Studio are a completely original, lawsuit-immune creation. Each lamp will run you about $50 and you'll have to email the studio to place your order, but at least that means your neighbor shouldn't have decor. [Unison via technabob and MoCoLoco]

When tabletop arcade manufacturer Retro-Tech makes a coffee table, it's gotta do more than hold books on Famous Chateaus of the 18th Century and What Things Look Like From the Sky. It has to hold that stuff and piss off your home theater.

Fitzgerald Art Deco Fan Convinces Us to Ditch Central Air
It's not exactly cutting edge technology, but this "Fitzgerald" art deco fan will let you relive the best parts of the Prohibition era without abstaining from your self-medication. Featuring three speeds, oscillation and a lifetime warranty on the motor, the Fitzgerald can add a bit of class to your speakeasy for $270. You'll just have to downgrade from your premium gin to the bathtub varieties for a while. [Horchow via DVICE] More »

Light-Up LED Furniture is Sticky, Disco, But You Can Call It Stardust
This lightweight furniture by Meritalia is so light you can pick it up with one hand, and so light that you can probably read by it. Designed by Mario Bellini, and made of plastic "ravioli," the stuff often found in packaging, LEDs and inox wire, Stardust furniture can be used by the pool, in the pool (well, it says that on the fact sheet) as well as in the house. And I love the name—Stardust makes me think of all sorts of lovely things, such as Bowie, as well as one of the best French house tunes ever, Music Sounds Better With You.More »

Rocket Lamp Built From Jet Engine (Can We Get A "ZOMG")
This retro-styled rocket lamp is more than the absolutely most perfect accessory to complete any room, it's the absolutely most perfect accessory to complete any room that's built from the igniter can of a freakin' jet engine. One-of-a-kind and shamelessly worth its $2,100 sticker price, we want to push each and every one of its glowing jewels...even though we know that they don't actually do anything...and that they probably aren't even buttons in the first place.

When I saw this come up in my RSS feeds, I thought it said Brian Lam, and so I got rather excited. I was, however, (as I so frequently am) wrong. This lamp is the brainchild of Alexander Lervik, who had an MR scan done in Stockholm of his own grey matter, before printing up the results on a 3-D printer. "Yes," he says about his creation. "It is bright." Oh, no one loves a smart arse, Lervik. [Lervik]

Mudes Lamps Make Me Think of a Prize-Fighting Egg
But I guess that's the drugs talking. Designed by Nicolloe Alves Rincon with teenage girls in mind, these portable, rechargeable Mude lamps will, I guess, have pride of place at slumber parties. Just like our apocalyptic friends on horseback, four knobs control

Intravenous Lamp Turns Your Home Into a Prescription Drug Den
The Lichtinfusion lamp from Christian Maas makes me think of the best insults you can lob at someone who spends too long in front of the mirror (it's too rude for the first para, I'm afraid). With the power cables disguised as the rubber tubes that would normally feed sick little puppies like me their daily dose of Pethidine, the lamp only lacks the wheels to enable your light to travel around the apartment with you.

Is This The Best Mantrap I've Ever Seen?
For when a lasso won't do, may I recommend The Trap, an art installation by This Is Collective, a bunch of rather clever designers. The embroidered steaks on the bedspread, means it will only work on meat-eating sewing freaks, ladies. The Trap was on show at the Come Up To My Room installation in Toronto last week.

led fireplace
The Electroscape fireplace from Platonics has a remote-controlled LED lighting system built in. Ahh—nothing warms you up on a frosty 21st Century morn better than some funky LED lights that you can mix, from single color to multicolored, from the cozy comfort of your armchair. You can even specify what arty "fire" objects are displayed inside: driftwood, pebbles or gravel. The fireplace pumps out 2kW of heat from its element, though, rather strangely, Platonics says this is an optional add-on. Maybe those LEDs get really hot. Available now for around $3100 in the UK.

Vile Mortadella Rug Gives Excuse to Say 'Hide the Sausage' in a Headline
Number two in an occasional series of crazy things to do with meat, this is Mortadella, one of four sausage-inspired rugs. The others in the series are (below, from left) Blood Sausage, Bierschinken and Salami. Made in Germany and available online, I think I can safely say that it's one of the Wurst rugs I've ever seen. *Sound of single gunshot followed by large thud* [Wurstteppich]

Expected Curtain Gives the Lonely Friends to Come Home to
Designed by Mino Kodama, the Expected Curtain is a sort of instant virtual posse, aimed individuals who either have no friends, or who are plagued by stalkers*. Hang the curtain in your window and, while the three shadowy "friends" won't show up during the day (thus making your neighbors fear you are a work-shy fop and endeavor to have you thrown out of your co-op) but appear once the lights go on and making you look like a truly popular person. The creator has a website, but it's still under construction. [Designspotter via MAKE]*I suppose that if you are the sort of person who has no chums, then a stalker could well become a "friend," could they not?

Astone Sit N Joy Inflatable Massage Chair Does What It Says
How do I love thee, Astone Sit N Joy inflatable massage chair? Let me count the ways. Cup holder. Dock for iPod. Remote control. Works on the beach, grass, home, prison (probably). Great name (ass-tone, heh). Wipes down for easy maintenance. Wonderful lay-dee-filled gallery (see below.) Just 122 buckeroonies. [AxPertZ via New Launches]More »

This ETree floor lamp is certainly distinctive looking. Built out of multiple strands of electroluminescent tubes that you can manipulate into pretty much any shape, it's like a glowing, malleable sculpture for your living room. It looks really cool, but I have trouble picturing it fitting in with the décor with many living rooms. Maybe if you lived in a submarine from the future it would fit well. Yeah, that would be awesome. If you own one of those, you can probably afford $2,068 for a lamp. [Product Page via Technabob]
