“Make your own magnets”. Sounds kind of nice in writing. But it’s much cooler in person. At least that’s the vibe I’m getting from looking at the image above. In any event, I’ve got a coffee table with this thing’s name on it. To use it, slap a magnet on something small, put it in the center, and plug it in. Simple. Effective. Cool. Excuse me while I test every single thing in my house for levitating...

You know, seeing as how I’m still pretty young, I tend to ignore the entire sector of the gadget world dedicated to elderly people. It just doesn’t interest me. However, the personal Elderly hovercraft chair unit demoed by Japan’s Kobe Gakuin University has me genuinely excited for the older years in my future. The levitating chair uses several air compressors mounted to the underside of unit, much like a hockey table levitates a plastic puck. ...

Those in search of a more “modern” looking light fixture for their humble domain have probably spent hours, if not days plundering through web page after web page and store after store. Lucky for you, I have a feed reader list that is longer than *ya…I’m out of witty comments again…put yours here*. The whole floating effect is perfect for freaking out the kiddies and impressing parents alike with it’s border line impossible feats of...

Of all the lighting fixture/lamp concepts and designs I’ve seen, the Fiat Lux Lamp designed by Constance Guisset and Grégory Cid easily takes the crown for coolest, most innovative lamp design of the decade — the next decade. Some may see this admission as coming a wee bit early seeing as how the next decade doesn’t start for a couple more days. Even still, though I already know how fast technology does in fact progress and evolve, I’m left...

When you were a young child, did you ever dream of spacey/futuristic technology coming down to earth? Technologies such as levitation (a.k.a. “anti-gravity”). While nothing is “impossible” as much as it is simply not known yet or undiscovered, anti-gravity was one of those things that on paper seemed possible yet we just couldn’t figure out how to apply it in the real world. Thank everything hold some braniac scientists have figured it out. ...
