It's like those Russian nesting dolls. We would like to see the tiny lamp opening up to reveal another table with a lamp on top. And so on and so on. The most surprising aspect of this design is its price, $3,888. If somebody would mass-produce these things, you could probably get one at Target for $9.95.

Available in white, black, shiny chrome (pictured here) or amber, it has a little LED night light inside that glows from within its hive-like layers. Inside are five outlets where you can plug in your chargers.

Maybe its generously-sized tray on top is a good place to set your keys along with devices that are being charged, with their unsightly wires going through a opening leading to all of those wall warts and cables stored below and out of sight. Its energy-sipping LED light only eats up 4.2 watts of power, so you might leave it on and use it as a shiny flowerpot-shaped night light. Weird. If it didn't cost $175 (and that's on sale) it might be a slightly useful object. – Charlie White
