I have the space in my living room for two loveseat-sized couches, so I decided to treat myself. When the mood strikes, I can push these together to make an upholstered square fortress that I have to clamber in and out of.

I mean, who doesn’t want to have an upholstered fortress that they can clamber into?

This was my exact thought. I wish I had the room for a set of these.

At the library of one of the universities I attended there were oval chairs in front of a giant window that really made the area nice and warm on sunny days. I’d push two of the chairs together to make a man sized bassinet and then catch 2-3 hours of sleep when there was a gap in my schedule.

Pretty funny, but a few of these are really reaching. The Braille watch is especially tone deaf and insensitive. “Teh blinds don’t need color because they’re blind!”

I appreciate the idea, a kind of McMansion attack on overly designed objects. But I find the execution quite lacking. There are funnier comments in this board, and I kind of feel Core77 is targeting the wrong aspects (i.e. clearly concept art) or even just the wrong product in general (the braille watch).

I implore you not to send these links to Donald Norman. The man is 83 and some of this crap might cause his body to implode.
