It is about time. You walk into post offices, warehouses, and other facilities that deal with massive amounts of storage and they have cool storage cabinets and bins to hold all of their stuff, but not in our homes. Of course, those industrial storage systems look, well, industrial. Mark van der Gronden took the same concept and  translated it into a fantastic looking storage system for our homes and offices.

The Crates Cabinet uses large second-hand crates for storage and industrial strength frames to hold the crates. You can vary the sizes of crates, choose a variety of colors, and create a unique storage system that looks great and is amazingly efficient. Each cabinet is built as a one of a kind system due to the varying supply, color, and sizes of the crates. You must contact Mark to get a quote on a system for your home.

What is your style of the day? Do you want to have a Van Heusen lamp today? Tomorrow might be a little more laid back and an Old Navy lamp would feel better. Are the guys coming over for poker night? Then it should be a Victoria Secret lamp tonight. The Clothes Hanger Lamp lets you hang whatever type of shirt you want on the hanger and then flip on the light to create you own custom lamp. The light is kept at a safe distance from the shirt to make sure the shirt stays ready to wear.

Imagine how cool this lamp can look with different styles of shirts or adorned with your lady’s sexiest little outfit to remind you why you lust for her so much. The lamp sells through Droog for approximately $165.00.

Do you want to create complete confusion in  your office? Get a little Styrofoam takeout box from a Sushi bar, drop on one of these ultra-cool Sushi USB Flash Drives, and head back to the office. Imagine the look on co-workers faces as you pull out your Sushi for lunch and cram it into the USB slot on your computer. They are going to think you lost your mind, but in reality you are just using a high-quality flash drive with a uniquely fishy appearance.

The Sushi USB drives come in a variety of your favorite Sushi varieties with sizes of 4GB, 8GB, 16GB, and 32GB. Prices start at just $27 and even the 32GB is reasonably priced at $62.  The only problem with these drives is the hunger pains they may create when you need to work through lunch or pull some late night overtime hours.

The light is always in the wrong place. Lamps on your bedside stands are adequate, but they still do not light up your book like you want. The same is true in the kitchen, the living room, and any other room in the house. The lights work, but they could be just slightly better. The Sticky Lamp by Chris Kabel lets you put a light right where you want it and then peel it off the wall when you are finished.

You can stick the light anywhere you have a flat surface. Think about how useful this could be for taking pictures, too. You could put lighting right where you want it before you take the shot. The lights have an adhesive back with a flat, flexible holding surface. The front mounted light’s heat is shielded from walls by the heat resistant plastic. The idea is just one more of Chris’s innovative thoughts. The lights sell for 19.99 Euro or for a discounted US price of $23.00 and are offered online through Droog.
