irobot roomba

The irobot isn't all that new, but I thought it was a successfully designed piece of equipment. I've personally never owned one, although I have witnessed one being used. The irobot can be set to run as you walk out the door for your busy day. It self cleans and senses when an object is in front of it, bumping lightly into it before changing directions. Easy to use and great for the busy household. It comes in more then just the silver and black and is small and easy to store. I think it will become better as the years pass and we may be seeing more products that are similar in self functioning once turned on of course.

Door knob

I picked this to go along with the odd chair. I'm not sure who designed it, but I find it to be another creative unique way to design a house. Personally I think in the dead of the night it would creep me out to grab a hand when trying to open the door. I like it though because it's effective. It's like taking someones hand, but you have to turn it to open the door which might be a little odd since one doesn't normally do that when shaking someones hand. Its very different and a well thought out idea in my opinion, but I wouldn't buy it for my house.

wall climbing couch

I found the design of this couch to be interesting. I'm not sure if the couch is actually connected to the wall or not. But I think with use it wouldn't stay against the wall very well and would scuff it up if it isn't attached. Over all it's a neat piece, however I think the arm of the chair on the right side would get in the way of your head, and for being a couch, not many people would be able to sit together. The color is a rather boring choice, and functionality lacks in this particular chair.
