Cardboard as furniture

We are huge fans of DIY. This is amazingly inexpensive way to create some ri-donk-u-lous furniture. I am now on a cardboard mission. Watch out for some future posts kids.

Fretless fader prototype

It's going to be kind of hard to understand what's going on here if you haven't used DJ gear before, but if you have, you had better be sitting down. In short, the crossfader is placed into a vertical fader that is apparently sending pitch control to the turntable. This is bananas - the kind of next-level technology that a short time ago would have been the stuff of science fiction.

Marcus Nispel's Soho factory loft with indoor pool

This is an envy-inspiring factory-turned-loft abode owned by Marcus Nispel, director of an eclectic mix of projects including the 2009 version of Friday the 13th, the 2003 remake of the Texas Chainsaw Massacre, and music videos for Cher, Amy Grant and Faith No More. How many New York apartments do you know of that have indoor pools. Awesome!

Spilt milk cereal bowl

Here's another clever crockery design. When I first saw this I figured it was made out of ceramic and wouldn't make it more than a wash or two without one of those little drips breaking off, but thankfully...

It's made from soft, flexible silicone that's practically indestructable. So even if Junior whips it across the room or plunges it to the floor, you'll never need to cry over Spilt Milk!

Grab one of these at Perpetual Kid.
