London based Aspiral Clocks looks like they’re on to something. These clocks actually rotate and the ball just follows the track with the help of gravity. Every twelve hours the ball simply falls back into the hole and it’s reset back at the bottom. Very clever. Very cool. There are multiple designs that can be found on their site. The only problem is that they cost $540 bucks.
The Zombie Combat Manual is a comprehensive guide that demonstrates how anyone, from seasoned fighter to average citizen, can become an effective warrior in the inevitable battle against the undead. With detailed illustrations and firsthand accounts from zombie combat veterans, this manual provides readers with the information they need to emerge victoriously from a close combat encounter with a walking corpse. Now is the time to learn how to survive a hand-to-hand battle against the advancing army of the undead-before humans fall prey to their growing ranks. Who knows, it could happen right? At least this can be a cool coffee table book or a good read when you’re in the bathroom.
Are you doing your part in the go green movement? The Flexible Love is not only cool, its ecological, adaptable and practical. The Flexible Love chair is an expandable chair, designed by Chisen Chiu made entirely of recycled paper and recycled wood waste. It is produced using a pre-existing manufacturing process in order to reduce their overall impact on the environment.
“The name “Flexible Love” was derived from the concept of a flexible “love-seat” – seating that could hold from one to as many as sixteen individuals; changing length and shape with a simple pull at each end. A honeycomb structure, used throughout the entire Flexible Love line, produces an accordion-like result that allows each piece to be extended and collapsed with ease.”
To us, desks are practically the most important piece of furniture to own. We spend so much time at a desk that it needs to be able to store what we need and have enough room to let us scatter our work all over it. The Z Gallerie Jett Desk is pretty much a perfect match. With a 57″x30″ surface you will have plenty of room for that over sized monitor, speakers, router, laptop, keyboard, and smattering of papers. The dual drawers with smooth full extension metal glides will give you a place to cram all of your work when you’re done to give the appearance of a clean workspace.
Alright, we know that the price is just ridiculous, but if you had the money to blow and love Foosball, then here is the ultimate Foosball Table. The VIP Kicker is made out of stainless steel, aluminum, ESG glass and veneered wood. Basic components right? Well here’s the kicker: the Crystal Edition tops out with 151,000 Swarovski crystals. Now that’s just insane.
Alright dudes, Fatboy Beanbags are here to remind us that the bean bag chair is something that shouldn’t be left behind at the dorms or in your room at your mom’s house. Fayboy Metahlowski has given the classic beanbag a long over due make over by adding the class that was much needed. Imagine how comfy and fun it would be in your big boy pad, just look how much fun the chick is having in the picture above. The Metahlowski beanbag chairs are available in metallic colors like gold, bronze and titanium and each are made of fine Italian fabric.
This is just one of those things that make you think “hmm that was obvious”. The Sommelier 5 pc. Wine Bottle Set ($20) contains everything you need to both get into and seal your bottle of choice. The cool thing about this is that it will fold up and sit discretely in your probably half empty wine rack. Included in the kit: cork screw, wine pour, wine stopper, foil cutter, and wine ring.
Here at Alpha Maven, we spend our days working (yes we work. most of the time), but once it’s play time, we like to have a little fun (okay, a lot of fun) whenever possible. Where does the fun begin? The home bar of course. When it comes to home storage, nothing is more important than the bar. It stores all the beverages you need to get the night started right (pre game), and end right (A-bar). The Markham Console Bar is made of pine and pine veneer and comes complete with plenty of storage (including a bottle securing trough), a cast iron towel bar, and a cast iron bottle opener.
The Three Sixty Table from Future Perfect is an awesome combination of the skate lifestyle and lazy susan. Measuring in at 16″ high and 40″ in diameter, this table is available in German Oak or Walnut and would be one sweet table for the crib. Although this is a real cool table, we think that with a little effort and time, you could probably create one of these tables on your own for a lot less than $1800.Yeah we know, $1800?! Maybe tomorrow.
Nick Gentry took a new and creative approach to recycled art. These pieces are painted on old 3.5″ floppies and VHS tapes. Gentry uses the holes in the VHS tapes and disks as part of the image such as the eyes of his subject. Starting at $80 these are actually really cheap and their cool factor is definitely up there.
