Keeping an eye on stylish
gear and technology.

No matter if you use NovelQuest’s Emperor Workstation to play Star Wars games, hack UN*X or control your evil forces in search for world domination it’ll just fit like a glove. Promise.

Besides looking huge and intimidating (as all computer workstations should) it comes packed with features like three TFT displays, air filter, light therapy, THX-sound and a uber-comfy seat. Not only that, whenever you want to get in or out of this thing it’ll lift the arm holding the displays by the press of a button.

It’ll launch in July this year, price to be announced.

If you feel bad about using a real tree during Christmas you better check out Atypyk’s Christmas Tree Poster. It’s 120×160 centimeters large and sports big ‘ol green pixels to decorate the wall.

And here’s a quote from Atypyk themselves for those of you wondering why you should use a paper product when you’re out to save trees;

“Q: How many trees does it take to make this poster?
A: Less than it takes to make a tree!”

The Highwire Power LED DeskLight by Balmuda Design isn’t just a stylish desk lamp, this subtile aluminum creation is actually the brightest LED desk lamp in the world.

“It keeps 70% of its original light output even after 50,000 hours. The color emitted by Highwire matches the color of a computer display therefore, the display is not distorted. The light coming from Highwire does not include infrared rays and so emits less heat.”

It’s available in two models; the Highwire 1100 for 23" displays and smaller and the Highwire 1300 for 24" and bigger. The price is pretty close though, $630 vs $660.

Here’s the DeLighTable by Kloss, a coffee table sporting a surface that emits light when touched. This touch-sensitive and light-emitting technology has been around for a while now but now they’ve finally managed to slim it down (the coffee table is only 25mm thick) and make it available for purchase. It’s completely waterproof and runs on a safe 12 volts.

The price is 1200GBP (about $2,300).

I don’t know if this is a mere concept or available for purchase, but neat idea nevertheless: the Hi-tech Light-emitting Wallpaper by Jonas Samson. As long as the wallpaper is turned off the pattern is invisible, when turned on it becomes animated and glows right through it.

Size: 240 cm x 360 cm.

The EnergyPod by MetroNaps is a chair/bed hybrid designed to be a “room inside a room” to help stressed out office workers. Just slip into this futuristic Pac Man-shaped chair and let the visor slide down. You can then relax to either silence or plug in your headphones to filter out your co-workers completely.

“The contour of the EnergyPod takes pressure off the cardiac system with the elevation of the feet and relaxes the muscles of the back with a slight bend in the knees.”

A timer found in the arm rest prevents overnapping and wakes the user gently with a combination of lights and vibrations.
