The Road Tested Chair by John Carter brings the outdoors indoors by utilizing actual New York City “Walk/Don’t Walk” signs that actually work to create the seating surface. The legs are even made of reconfigured and customized steel street sign brackets. Available in genuine street scuff or squeaky clean with a fresh coat of yellow paint, the chair plugs into a standard outlet and is controlled via a remote control. This stuff’s made in New York City.

Full Vinyl: The Subversive Art of Designer Toys by Ivan Vartanian is a great looking book filled with full color photos of over 400 vinyl figures from a variety of the most popular artists in the industry. The book even has a corrugated cardboard cover and a squid keychain embedded in the front to give it a little bit of artsy flair. History books have never been this much fun.
