The jet turbine-inspired Venti Remote Controlled Fan actually looks pretty good - for a desktop fan. Besides being wall-mountable, completely made in cast aluminum and adjustable in every direction it sports three different fan speeds, oscillation control and… a remote control.

If you’re looking for a way to get in touch with nature while still being able to get back to your concrete urban environment in an instant Fung + Blatt Architect’s LawnChair might just be something for you.
Besides the actual lawn it’s made from renewable materials (steel, rubber, felt) and sports a built-in moisturizing system, allowing you to keep the grass green without watering it the old fashioned way.
It’s available in three models with three different bases; concrete, light-weight “double-v” (shown above) and caster. No word on pricing though.

This is the Lifting Man CD Holder, featuring a tiny man who’ll make sure your CD’s are leaning comfortably, forever. It measures 4.7" x 9.5" x 8.25" and can be hung on the wall, but why ruin the effect?

This is the Dylan Designer Contemporary Bed, designed by Andrea Lucatello for Cattelan Italia. Really, who wouldn’t want to sleep in something that looks like it defies the laws of physics?

Here’s the Bedside Gun Lamp made in 18K gold plated aluminum, designed by Philippe Starck (the guy behind the stylish Fossil/Starck Cross Digi Watches, among other things). It’s available in matte black as well, but according to Starck there’s a deeper meaning behind this than just pleasing gun aficionados:
“The gold of the weapons represents the collision between money and war. The black shade signifies death. The crosses on the inside are to remind us of our dead ones.”

This is Mark Beam’s Spine Lamp and if there was such a thing as the Freshpilot Creepiest Lamp Ever Award I’d hand it to him right away. Basically you get a golden, flexible human spine with a marble base - and it’ll cost you $1500.
Clearly a bargain if your name is Lecter and you need something stylish to illuminate your cell while waiting for Clarice to arrive.

Does it float or not? The Illusion Side Table looks like a table cloth hanging on a round table floating magically in the air. Here’s the spoiler: it’s handmade in 3 mm acrylic. Each table is unique, tolerates 25 kg of load and available in either clear, ice, grey, brown or pearl.

If it wasn’t for the fact that Viable London’s Titanic Lamp (designed by Charles Trevelyan) looks like it’s sinking right through the surface it stands on I guess it’d look pretty ordinary. Good thing it doesn’t.
