STRALA is the company behind the Bartok, a concrete table complete with bent iron rods for an authentic piece-of-rubble-in-your-dining-room look. [via]
I have no idea how much it costs, but I can pretty much bet that it costs way more than it looks.
Re-vive Table Legs turn any flat surface into a table
October 23, 2009 @ 12:51 am
Branch is selling this set of Re-vive Table Legs that are essentially large modified clamps that extend to help prop up any flat surface. By using these 4 Re-vive Table Legs, one can essentially turn any flat surface into a table of varying height with relative ease. This is pretty awesome and I want a set so I can start turning flat objects into tables left and right. Only $178. [via]

Damn, I really wish I could remember what book this was from because I’d tell you all to buy it.
UPDATE: I suddenly remembered that it’s from Doofus and Darling’s Manners for the Modern Man: A Handy Guide for Today’s Ambiguous Etiquette Situations
Rare P.-D.G. desk by Maurice Calka up for auction
April 22, 2009 @ 8:29 pm
The desk above is called the P.-D.G. desk by French designer Maurice Calka. The desk was targeted to the richest of clients and people in senior management. In fact, the name itself was an acronym for “Président Directeur Générale”, which pointed directly at someone in higher positions within a company.
In his lifetime, Maurice Calka was known to only have made about 4 or 5 of these desks but Sotheby’s currently has one previously unknown desk up for auction for over 100,000 USD. Bid on it if you want to own a small niche item in furniture design history. [via]

Somebody at work has a great sense of humor
December 10, 2008 @ 6:57 pm
So at work there’s this area in the kitchen designated for giveaways. You can put anything there and you can take anything there. Usually, the area is filled with promo books and CD’s and the occasional hair/make-up set. In all of my time at Hearst, I can only recall ever taking something from that table once.
But yesterday, somebody put a brick there. A normal, light-colored brick. And for the second time ever, I wanted to take an object from the giveaway table just to confirm to the giver that yes, that was an awesome item up for grabs.
Deal of the Day!
