Contemporary designer Freyja Sewell's HUSH is a womb-shaped chair designed to offer a little "me time" for those of us easing the burden of a pricey apartment by living with roommates.

Made of 100% wool felt, HUSH, says Sewell "is a warm, cosy space, for contemplation and rest."

HUSH was recently selected for Grand Designs Live, the UK's leading contemporary home show, as one of Kevin McClouds 'Green Heros'. Freyja's work on HUSH is supported by the Campaign for Wool.

In the face of electricity cuts and a warm summer, Japanese lingerie makers have put their heads together and come up with a new way to keep their customers cool: an ice bra.

A frozen gel, which remains soft and flexible, is inserted into the cup providing the wearer with a “super cool feeling”, according to manufacturer, Triumph Japan.

AFP reports that the “Super Cool Bra”, unveiled today in Tokyo showed off the new underwear line featuring a fish tank design on the outside of the cup.

And if the idea of having your chests cooled to freezing temperatures hasn’t won you over yet, a spring of mint and wind chime hang between the two cups to give a “refreshing fragrance and sound”, according to the maker.

Triumph Japan,boasts that all five senses will be “hooked” by the cooling sensation of the bra, while saving money and electricity over summer.

Wearers can also keep the bottom half of their body cool with novelty bamboo screen and mosquito net mini skirts.

Spread over two decks this incredible jacuzzi is bigger than most New York apartments.

It seems no extravagance has been spared to create what looks like one of the most over-the-top hot tubs to date.

The ultimate backyard accessory, the Luxema 8000 boasts a huge flat-screen TV and its own bar.

And the amazing tub has no less than 130 separate jets and nine water pumps to keep occupants happy.

Although the tub would likely impress friends and add value to a property, it will set buyers back thousands of dollars.

 SPAmbient, the Slovenian firm who make the hot tub, list another of its tubs, which is a fraction of the size, at more than $26,000 and that is in a sale.

The huge structure, which weighs 1500kg (without the 10,000 litres of water needed to fill it), even boasts a built in hifi system to ensure guests are always entertained.

The lower spa has six seats as well as a bar attached to the outside should guests become thirsty.

And if they are feeling a little more energetic, the top pool can be used to swim, with powerful water jets creating the effect of a current to swim against.

Of course, the jets can be turned off to turn it into a normal pool.

As if that’s not enough SPAmbient can sell you a matching sauna to sit nearby.

The company sells dozens of less showier tubs too, seemingly specialisingly in structures which are divided into separate jacuzzi and pool sections.

The world needs more luxurious gaming furniture and less of those gaudy leather gamer chairs with built-in speakers.

Gaming decor goes to the next level with this coffee table that actually works as a fully functional Nintendo Entertainment System (NES) controller. Talented woodworker Charles Lushear sells the massive controller table on Etsy for $3,500 (plus shipping). The exotic item's 42 inches long, 18.25 inches wide, and 18 inches high, and you might want to seek permission from your significant other before purchasing it.

We truly admire how accurate the table appears compared with the original NES controller. Lushear assembled the coffee table with "maple, mahogany, and walnut with dovetail joinery and mid-century modern legs," according to the description. The glass top removes easily for gameplay, and it features a retractable cord so nobody trips up after a marathon Mario session.

If you've ever tried to wake up early in the morning, but ended up just hitting the snooze button till it was too late, Ramos is for you.

Ramos Alarm Clock, possibly the most demanding (and therefore effective) alarm clocks available today. It looks gentle enough, with its lovely hardwood exterior, in a variety of finishes, but “set it and forget it” wont work here. Once it goes off, you’ll know what I mean. In order to disarm this alarm you must first memorize the specially generated code and enter it onto a panel, ideally located somewhere far away from the coziness of your soft, warm bed.

The developer, Paul Sammut, made this clock a Kickstater Project, an interesting concept in an of itself, by which developers require the support of interested parties, or backers in order to fufill orders, or complete projects.

Anyway, this clock, and its independent wireless touch panel will definitely prevent you from just hitting the snooze bar until your flight to who knows where is on the tarmac and ready for takeoff.

The Ramos Alarm is available in a few different versions, including custom handmade units, with the basic design starting at around 150 bucks. Check out kickstarter.com for more information on the Ramos clock, or to better understand the mission of the kickstarter program.

Fans of Steve Jobs can now own a stuffed toy of the late tech visionary.

Called the iCEO, the plush doll launched on Wednesday by pillow company Throwboy and looks remarkably like the Apple founder. Standing 15 inches tall, the toy Job comes with removable rimless glasses, his signature black turtle neck and 100% denim jeans.

Throwboy is touting the Steve Jobs stuffed toy as a limited-edition collector’s item, as only 1,200 have been made.

The iCEO can be pre-ordered now for $60, with a limit of two for each person. The item will ship in August 2012 and you can order it from other countries.

The Throwboy team donates 10% of each Steve Jobs toy sold to the American Cancer Society.

Looking for unique gifts for Valentine's Day? Here what you can do and I'm sure your man is gonna love it!

If you didn’t have any instructions, how would you duplicate this cupcake? Suggest a method and then click on the link to see Kurryleaves’s clever approach. Did you guess correctly?

Looking for a sweet gift that won’t add to someone’s waistline? Then why not crochet some adorable truffles in a heart-shaped box using this great pattern.

CALL it the iCEO mini - three months after his death, late Apple Inc co-founder and CEO Steve Jobs has been immortalised as a 12" (sixth-scale) action figure.

Toy companies in icons and Dragon in Dream unveiled the figure on New Year's Day in tribute to the tech visionary who gave the world the Mac, iPhone, iPad and iPod.

The figure (don't call it a doll!) features a realistic likeness and Jobs's trademark black turtleneck, jeans and sandshoes. But while publicity photos feature a miniature Mac, iPhone and iPad, they sadly won't be included.

The figure is due for release in late February for $US99.99 plus shipping.


Apple or Jobs's family might take action to block the use of Jobs's likeness, as they did in 2010 when a company called MIC Gadget attempted to sell Jobs action figures on eBay.

However DID has released unauthorised figures in the past, depicting such famous people as US President Barack Obama.

PCB Creations calls this toilet they made from recycled circuit boards “The Royal Data Throne.”

At just 12-inches tall, and 5-inches wide, this circuit board toilet is way too small to sit on, so unless you’ve got a really small (and well-padded) ass, don’t get any funny ideas about actually taking a dump in it.

If you’ve got $500 (USD) to waste, go hit a casino and bet it all on number 2 on the roulette wheel. Then bet your winnings all on the same number again. If you still have $500 left afterwards, you can grab this oddity over on Etsy now.

i-Wood is a laptop replica designed for kids. It's basically a regular chalkboard inspired by the MacBook Pro, and it's the perfect gift for any kid who's still into playing with actual toys. It's just a matter of time before these little guys want the real deal, but i-Wood should at least keep them entertained.

Beer-mongers around the world, your prayers have finally been answered – English supermarket Asda has launched aspecial underwear that promises to sculpt your beer belly, tone your behind and hide love handles.

Called Manx, after the female underwear brand Spanx, this miracle undergarment will save you the effort of having to suck in your belly every time you go out. They may not be the sexiest underpants you’ve ever seen but if you’re not big on diets and exercising they may be the only way to get that streamlined silhouette you’ve always dreamed of. Asda claims its specialists have been working on Manx underwear for an entire year, getting fabric percentages just right and adding control areas in problem areas.



Manx is 85% polyamide and 15% elastane, which helps compress flabby areas. A double knitted panel flattens and firms your beer belly, while the side panel going from the waist down to the thighs compresses love-handles and tones your buttocks. Their unusual shape helps support lower back, but I’m pretty sure many guys won’t be to eager to put on something that covers their rib cage and will probably prove a turn-off in the boudoir.

Women have been wearing deceiving accessories like padded bras and body-sculpting undergarments for years, and it’s time boys started playing dirty as well. With a price tag of just £10 ($16), we’re bound to see a lot less beer bellies walking down the street. Now if only they’d come up with something to hide them at the beach…

The heat has been unrelenting in many parts of the U.S. these past few weeks, but a small Japanese company may have the answer to help you keep cool: shirts equipped with their own air conditioning units.

With Japan facing power shortages and energy restrictions in the aftermath of an earthquake and tsunami this past March, the demand for the air-conditioned jackets with built-in fans designed by Kuchofuku Co. Ltd. has soared reports AFP.

The cost of beating the heat isn't so cool: the least expensive garment costs around 11,000 yen or $130 US dollars. But for the price, those wearing the lithium-ion battery-powered jacket can bask in cool air for up to 11 hours on a single charge, consuming far less power than that used by a normal air conditioner, explains The Standard.

Kuchofuku's air-conditioned garments are not new, but Japan's recent energy saving efforts have triggered a surge in popularity for the jackets and other products like air-conditioned beds and seat cushions, according to The Telegraph.

Several other Japanese companies have come up with additional, interesting wearable ways to keep cool. For example, you migh try out the USB Cooling Necktie, which comes with a small fan in the knot of the tie. Alternately, check out the USB Heating and Cooling Keyboard, that lets you pick adjust the temperature in your workspace. As Travelizmo points out, you could also don the fan-equipped hat, which includes a fan powered by a small solar panel.

‘Let’s Pizza” is not your typical vending machine. It does not sell pre-packaged, ready-to-eat foods. It is a real-time, on-the-spot, pizza-making vending machine.

From the insertion of the coin to the extraction of a freshly baked, family-sized, flaming hot pizza, it takes just under three minutes to make. Incredible as it seems, the machine mixes the flour, eggs and water on the spot,then adds the sauce and toppings.

To enhance the experience even more, the entire pizza creation process can be watched through little windows in the machine adding a feeling of anticipation much like the one you get from seeing the cook in pizzerias making their dishes.

There are four types of pizza flavors you can choose from so far.

Implications - In a world that is increasingly about real-time, brands should upgrade their current offerings and cater to consumers' need for instant gratification by providing them with a new experience.

No, she's not in a state of shock, nor is she hunting for plankton -- she's simply waiting for the dentist to polish her pearly whites, just like any other conscientious robot. Known as the Showa Hanako 2, this humanoid was originally developed last year as a tool for dentists looking to practice new procedures. Now, engineers at Japan's Showa University have updated their dental denizen, adding a motorized head and replacing her PVC skin with a more realistic silicon coating. She also boasts speech recognition capabilities and can execute freakishly natural movements, including blinking, sneezing, coughing and, under more unsavory circumstances, even choking. See her in action for yourself, after the break.

Ever wondered what it feels like to be pregnant? Now even men can find out thanks to a new dress created by Takuya Iwamoto from the Japan Advanced Institute of Science and Technology and his team that simulates the weight, temperature, movement and heartbeat of a fetus (see video below).

The device can replicate the 9-month long process in two minutes or it can be worn for a longer period to experience what it feels like day-to-day. To mimic the fetus, it contains a 4-litre bag filled with warm water. Kicking movement is recreated with a lining of 45 balloons that expand and contract. But wiggling is more complex to reproduce and requires a grid of air actuators that exploit a tactile illusion. When two vibrating sources placed a distance apart move at the same time, it triggers a sensation in between the two points. So by varying vibrating pairs over time, the simulated fetus seems to squirm.

The system also contains an accelerometer and touch sensors to allow for interaction. When the suit is connected to a computer, software displays a 3D model of the fetus that changes to mimic different stages of pregnancy. The fetus on the screen appears to be in a good mood when a wearer strokes their abdomen and makes steady movements. But if the person moves around vigorously, it will trigger more intense motion.

The team hopes the system will help men better to understand what a woman goes through during pregnancy. It offers a more realistic simulation than existing systems by reproducing the temperature and movement of the fetus.

The work will be presented in August at Siggraph 2011 in Vancouver, Canada.

The information age was supposed to usher in a world where we could connect to anyone around the world instantly. But the sour promise of the electronic future is that it's still very nice to be in the same room with someone--with business contacts, sure, but especially with a loved one. Maybe it's time technology solved that problem, too. Welcome to the age of the Internet kiss.

Researchers at the Kajimoto Laboratory at the University of Electro-Communications in Japan (of course) are working on a machine that can replicate a kiss from the Internet. Just approach the box, move the straw with your tongue, and your partner gets a straw moving in their mouth the same way.

One of the researchers, Nobuhiru Takahashi, notes that "the elements of a kiss include the sense of taste, the manner of breathing, and the moistness of the tongue." Now that they've got tongue movement down, they're working on those. They project that a famous musician or movie star could record kisses, and then fans could kiss their own boxes: Imagine young girls (or boys!) everywhere staying up late making out with a program of Justin Bieber's kisses. It's a million-dollar idea.

But aside from the pop-culture implications, there is something bigger; a deeper moral quandary about our assumptions about a global world and how we can move around in it. George Monibot invented a term called "love miles"; the miles we must travel out of obligations to people we care about:

If your sister-in-law is getting married in Buenos Aires, it is both immoral to travel there, because of climate change, and immoral not to, because of the offence it causes. In that decision we find two valid moral codes in irreconcilable antagonism.

There is a paradox in a world in which the Internet allows us to form relationships thousands of miles away, and in which flying is increasingly something we should avoid, even as we become closer to people from farther away. This device could actually reduce the miles we travel to be with people we want to kiss. But then: Do we want to live in a world where kissing can be replicated by a box with a straw attached? If that's how we're interacting, have we not lost something essential about being human? Can we truly accept living in a world where we kiss with boxes?
