You're impossible.
By Mike Monteiro. Buy this at 20x200. I just love the directness of this piece (besides, it's typeset in Helvetica Bold.) Is it really art? You decide, but I'd sure hang it on my wall.

Wouldn't it be great to have your furniture glow from below? Just make sure you've cleared away any dust, though!

Mobelspiel is a toy designed by Willy Guhl in 1948. This Swiss toy has great abstract qualities. The shapes fit into each other to form a complete square, but each shape is a different piece of furniture. It's a make-believe set and puzzle game all in one. Even though it's designed for kids, I think this would be a great coffee table toy or office desk gift.

Ever had the problem of matching chair prints with your interior space? Well now you can create your own online.
Using a web tool (which requires a small Windows download), you can create a 3D design using your own design, photograph or pattern. And once you're happy with it, you can have the seat (or seats) made, courtesy of Finnish furniture manufacturer Piiroinen.
The chair itself is the Flakes chair, the work of Danish architects Schmidt Hammer Lassen - the firm also behind the idea of customizing the chair. At £367 each, they're pretty affordable if you consider they're totally custom.

The Fantome Clock is a ghostly rendering of a classic table clock designed by Yee-Ling Wan for Innermost Ltd. Also available at MoMa.
Not sure if this is a good idea or a bad one, but this bag incorporates a high heeled shoe. The concept is interesting, and if you'd see someone wearing this, you'd definitely look twice.

It was just a matter of time before someone figured out how to do it: A solar powered electric bicycle. You ride this bicycle down Highway 59 with pure solar power to propel you onward. If you get tired and need a little help, just switch on and let this green electric wonder take over. Who needs cars?
The E-V Sunny Bicycle works by using the energy absorbed by solar panels incorporated in the wheels, which power a battery at the back of the bicycle. Designed by Canadian, Peter Sandler of Therapy Products, this is apparently the first all-solar electric bicycle.
The bike is propelled by a 500 watt front hub motor. The variable speed electronic controller drives the bike to speeds of up to 30 kilometers per hour. Overall weight of the bicycle is 75 lbs.
