Work-acquaintances go here, book club buddies go here--Hey! no straddling the line!" This looks like fun, but I can imagine getting REALLY pissed if my guests used in an incorrect way: “No no no!

Looks like its an abstract thing where one table overlaps the other to make a bigger table. Pretty cool, just what my small living room needs. Can't seem to locate a price tho... Check out the site.

Simple declarative statements. "Ultrasonic device repels pests." "Tummy control brief has slimming effect." "Personal massager has fun bunny-shaped protrusion."

I'd expect the set to be around 800-1000$ if it ever gets produced. The firm itself may make a few examples on their own, but they probably won't solicit the pricing anywhere. Out Of Stock is a great collective. Their work is very sharp in a world of oh-so-much unnecessary designer furniture. Not sure much if any of their work has gotten to mass production though...
