If you are looking for an original piece of furniture, well Don’t Feed The Swedes a very nice stool, a Cap.

What about the Cap and DFTS?

We made a prototype of this stool a few years ago and had a massive response. People asking where they could buy it, who were Don’t Feed The Swedes…But getting it produced wasn’t easy. First up, the guys in suits thought it was ‘more fashion than design’. So we took it to the fashion folk – who loved it but didn’t know how to make furniture. So DFTS Factory was born and we made it ourselves.

With Cap we want to pay homage to an artform and culture which has inspired and provoked thoughtful expression across the world; Graffiti. It’s an iconic tribute piece to the personalities and works which gives Cap its inspiration. We hope that you’ll use it as it was intended – to make your own lasting statement of individuality. /Don’t Feed the Swedes

I found some crazy concept objects on Wired :  Bizarre concept phones, USB-enabled soccer balls and a solar-powered phone named after a shoe company are some of the stranger things the mobile phone industry has up its sleeve for the coming year. Read more

Check Wired and notice the wireless wonders.

I choose 3 of my favourites concept gadgets:

Melting Chocolate Phone:

There are more crazy concepts, this time a melting “chocolate” phone from NTT Docomo. We don’t expect to find this in stores, at least not outside of Japan, but these scrumptious cells take LG’s chocolate concept and give it a rather literal twist.

 

 

The Lego Robot:

This Lego robot, unofficially named Johnny Five, is remote-controlled over Bluetooth from a BlackBerry. I spotted the little fellow in the aisles and crouched down to get a shot. He rolled over towards me to pose. The weirdest part was trying to find the owner, as every person around me was twiddling their phone and could have been in control. It was impossible, until a guy from BlackBerry caved and started to grin.

 

Odball:

 

Is this a) a soccer ball, b) a robotic eyeball, or c) a USB 3G modem? The answer is all three, and sends us into a shuddering nightmare of themed, novelty gifts for “the man who has everything.” This particular oddball comes from Chinese manufacturer Huawei, and works on HSPA, EDGE and GPRS networks. The ball cracks open to reveal a USB connector within, and it works with Macs, Linux and Windows machines.

 

I found this bizarre item on Japan Trend Shop.  If you really want to pee without noise well this is the solution I guess.

Introducing you the Pee Without Noise Stool.

The Pee Without Noise Stool is one of those ideas that’s so cool we’re embarrassed we didn’t think of it before. We’ve all been there: it’s 2am in a sleeping house, your mother-in-law is right behind you in line for the potty, or you don’t want to broadcast the fact that you downed six glasses of beer over the course of your date.

As great as it is to be able to pee standing up, there are some situations where you just want to do your business discreetly, and having the outlet several feet above the bowl makes it hard to keep the volume down.

You could sit, but not only is that unbecoming a man, you also risk splashing the rim. Enter the Pee Without Noise stool. Kneeling on its soft cushions positions you at the exact right height to land your stream in the bowl at a much-reduced velocity and volume level. This simple, elegant tool could save your dignity, your relationship, or even your life (if there’s a robber in the house but you just have to go)!

When I discovered this I first toughed it was a joke.  But you can order this and choose from polyurethane DX or wood Eco models.
