Always on a quest to save space in the 50 sq ft we call a living room, furniture that fits into other furniture seems like an inspired idea. Well, an inspired idea that doesn’t involve beanbag chairs. Brussels-born Marina Bautier designed this chair / ottoman for her collection, lamaisondemarina. The ottoman part slides right under the chair like an Amish Transformer, giving you a both a place to sit and rest your feet.

When it comes to graphic design and video visuals, being the same as the rest is not so interesting, but having them done by Same Same is an exercise in creating a visual feast. The Danish VJ and graphic designer has spent the last six years creating mindblowing visual art in Europe. His skills as a graphic designer and VJ are heavily influenced by 1980s movies and old animations. In addition, his video work also relies on a certain talent for finding elements people relate to but that seem out of place in a club environment. Same same's unique personal style and knack for creating have garnered attention in just about every club in Copenhagen as well as from MTV, National Danish TV, and the Royal Museum of Art, amongst others. He's also been an in demand visual artist for the likes of The DMX Krew and Boy George. If you can't make it to Denmark anytime soon to check out his work…we recommend you check out his website and prepare to not believe your eyes.

Has your Battlestar Galactica obsession taken over your life to the point where you're unsure if you can trust any of your friends for fear they might be Cylons?

Well, if you're in need of some motivation to face that Cylon infested danger zone you call the outside world, each morning, we think it's imperative that you invest in the set of Battlestar Galactica Propaganda Posters.

Bulletin boards have always been a great tool for keeping maintaining one's sanity. Whether you use one for pinning up photos of your friends that you miss back home or for leaving little schedule reminders somewhere you can see them, there's no denying their usefulness. However, in order to hang all of that stuff up you usually have to use sharp tacks. In addition to the fact that using those tacks will leave holes in your photos, stepping on them will leave holes in your feet. Thanks to Modern Hangups, you won't have to worry about piercing your little piggies anymore. This simple new solution for your bulletin board woes ‘is an adhesive-backed dispensable display surface bundled with powerful magnetic tacks’ to replace all those pesky pins. The strip can also be most conveniently extended to the length of your liking, making for an excellent alternative for hanging up anything from photos to daily to-do lists. The only problem we have with Modern Hangups is that they're not available anywhere yet. This wonderful patented product is in need of an investor and manufacturer. We hope that changes soon, because our feet are all poked up.

You can boast about your iron-clad memory, but between remembering to check the oven so the baked pasta doesn’t turn into a crisp mess and making sure every guest is kept happy, details can fall through the cracks at any bash you’re having. But with the help of a few special tools outside of Red Bull, realistically aspiring to be the host with the most isn’t an absurd notion. Your biggest weapon will be Koziol’s Notes tray, an ingeniously designed serving platter in familiar waiter-style black that allows orders to be jotted on directly. That means your best friend with the super-sensitive stomach will get the soy milk coffee that she requested and not the lactose-tolerant’s version and your girlfriend’s sister won’t have to ask three times for an extra shot of rum in her Cuba Libre. The only thing you might have to worry about, though, is how to avoid getting chalk dust all over the glasses. Not a bad trade for almost perfect.

Using the digital printing process, known to the French as Giclée, UK-based gallery Cosh offers a fairly low-cost (about $200-$300…more than poster, but less than hanging plasma TVs everywhere) art alternative, and some wicked good artists. Among their stable are Pandayoghurt, Vault49, Hydro74, and the oddly named Steven Wilson. The art ships ready to hang, printed on age-resistant Da Vinci paper and stuck in a slick metal frame.
