3 Quirky Seating Options
1. SCRW Stool
German designer Manuel Welsky’s SCRW Stool allows users to stylishly adjust the seat’s height for the perfect fit.
From the website: Made from a high-quality steel pipe, the frame is an exciting contrast to the cork material from which the body is made. The massive cork cylinder appears light in this combination. Its unique features provide a comfortable seating experience.
Available here.
2. The Seatub
Created by London-based Korean designer Ki Kim, the Seatub allows users to summon the relaxation of the bathtub with the functionality of a lounge chair.
Price available upon request. For more information, visit Kim’s website here.
3. Straps Band Chair
Paris-based designer Yahia Ouled-Moussa repurposes canvas belts to create this unique chair.

Richard Bell of PSalt (short for A Pinch of Salt) design studio in England created this “edgy” aquarium. While the tank may look on the verge of toppling over, the danger is only an illusion. Available for pre-order for £295 here.
2. Mapkins
Stop falling asleep looking at your boring napkins—instead enjoy napkins featuring a customizable map of your choice. These cotton napkins from San-Francisco based design house Soft Cities are 100% Kina cotton. Prices vary starting from $65 (for a set of 2). Available here.3. Nest Learning Thermostat
Feel disappointed that your thermostat doesn’t make any effort to get to know you? The Nest Learning Thermostat, created by prolific inventer Tony Fadell (he holds over 100 patents!), asks you a few questions and gets to know your temperature preferences. After about a week, it will take care of regulating the temperature automatically. Fadell explains: “Turns out you change the temperature in your house 1500 times a year. 1500! Our thermostat learns what temperatures you like so it can program itself. It senses when you’re out and turns itself down. And we started from scratch with design, so it’s beautiful. Gorgeous hardware, easy install, fully integrated software, remote control from your smartphone.”
Options include remote access and energy-saving modules. Priced at $249. Order yours here.
