This Portable Power Strip Clamps to Table Edges and Charges 3 Devices

Working from wherever you can find a seat means accepting certain frustrations, and outlet hunting is near the top of the list.

8-Legged Shapeshifting Stool Features Fold-out ‘Tentacles’ That Turn Into Side-Tables

I’ll admit, I’ve never seen ‘Cyberpunk’ furniture before I saw the Toadstool by Seongmin Kim. Inspired by poisonous mushrooms (hence the name), this futuristic piece of furniture is both appealing and unsettling at the same time. The stool features a sitting surface, but is also armed with (literally) 8...
