If only. I’m sure it costs more money to have an extension cord in the wall, but it is so darn practical!

Love, love, love this.

We do have an ironing board (is that considered furniture?) and it is multi-purpose to an extent because BF uses it as a pseudo table to sort out his papers when I am hogging the kitchen table.

As a girl however, I’d love this.

If you think about it, how often do we use our ironing boards AND our mirrors at the same time?

(Answer for myself: Never.)

If it would also double as an air purifier & humidifier of some sort, I’d be sold.

Or rolled around like a Roomba, cleaning and sucking up dirt while I eat brownies.

Beautifully done infographs.

I find this one a tad hard to read without leader lines, but nevertheless, it’s interesting how certain cultures depict happiness for example.

For example: Section 38 = Happiness

• Western/American = Yellow
• Japanese = N/A
• Hindu = Green
• Native American = White
• Chinese = Red
• Asian = Red
• Eastern European = N/A
• Muslim = N/A
• African = N/A
• South American = N/A

Can you imagine saying that you’re carrying a chair in your bag, and then you whip out this body strap?

I can think of a number of situations where this’d come in handy. Like during festivals or concerts for example.

The only thing that might hurt, is my butt, as I don’t have much of a cushion on it. :\

Designer Alejandro Aravena of the firm Vitra created a very simple chair. It’s a strap that wraps around your legs and back to hold you into a seated position. “Chairless” was inspired by a picture of an Ayoreo (an indigenous group in Paraguay) person doing something similar. A portion of the proceeds from this chair will be donated to a foundation to benefit indigenous nations of Paraguay.
