Yeah…it hasn’t happened to us either, but if it ever does, we’re gonna kick ourselves for not having a LightBench around.

Made by the German company Frellstedt, the LightBench is made of LEDs that can be programmed for a variety of colors. At just under six feet long and two-and-a-half feet tall, the weatherproof LightBench is perfect for afternoon confabs, feeding pigeons, yelling at strangers, or making homelessness look cool. Check more pics of the LightBench after the jump.

Here’s a product that will entice both computer geeks and design nerds alike: ASCII Code Curtains. Yup, the American Standard Code for Information Interchange aka ASCII, apparently makes for an interesting interior design element, in this case, taking the form of a tree with branches. The curtains were created by Dutch designer Nienke Sybrandy and provide a sort of perfect balance: from afar the curtains offer an organic feel, from close-up it’’s pure technology. Now if our tiny apartments only had enough windows to cover, we’d be all set.

Whether you’re looking for a unique way to check your mug in the morning or just need a fun new surface for the yams, you might want to take a look at this Skateboard Mirror. The board length mirror, complete with trucks/wheels, offers an alternative to the medicine cabinet and other traditionally shaped mirrors. Of course, the price tag is a bit hefty and you could probably make your own DIY version with some mylar and an old deck, but when is the last time you actually made shit? Although it’s currently out of stock, you can contact the Purves direct and find out when their next delivery date is. $220, www.purves.co.uk
