Kickstarter campaigns are often cool, useful or essential, but this week we take a look at some that are just straight up wacky! The may not revolutionise the world, but they certainly give us a new solution to our everyday life – whether it’s furnishing, gaming or even learning.
The Woodieful Chair
If you’re after beautifully well crafted wooden furniture in your home, you might want to keep an eye on the multi-functional Woodieful Chair.
Need more tables, bookcases, storage shelves, or seats in your home? The Woodieful Chair can do all of those things… but maybe not all at once. One moment you’re storing your magazines in it, the next moment you’re sitting on it – this isn’t your average piece of furniture. In fact, why buy any chairs at all when you can flip all your bookcases over and sit on them?
Biggest question: Is this a comfy table to sit on?

Arduboy – Card Sized Gaming
Store retro-style games on a handheld system that slides into your wallet. Arduboy isn’t just for playing games, it’s for making them and sharing them too!
If you’ve ever sat in front of your huge HD TV and wished your gaming experience was a hundred times smaller, this is the gadget for you! Forget 3D games and colour screens, the Arduboy strips away with the last 30 years of gaming evolution and takes it back to a simpler time for players with small fingers. On a serious note this piece of technology encourages programming on a simpler level, and has a lot of cool features such as multiplayer, and online game sharing.
Biggest question: Can I at least play Flappy Bird?
HIODY the ultimate musically-infused hoodie
We’ve seen musical hats before – heck I remember radio caps back in the 90’s – but here’s an item of clothing that combines your love for music and fashion into one body warming item.
By connecting your smartphone via Bluetooth, the inbuilt speakers located inside the hood will provide you with music all day long, so you can wrap up and keep your head warm. The hoodie itself comes in a variety of colours, so you can choose the style that reflects your personality the same as any other part of your wardrobe.
Biggest question: Will this make me look too dangerous?
Trance Sphere: Oligodynamic Copper
The quote “Satisfy your attraction to pure, solid copper.” from Trance Metals should be enough to help you quickly decide if this is something you’re into or not.
The Trance Sphere is exactly what it looks like – a round ball of copper. You’re able to position it on your desk for decoration, or you can hold it in your hand for fun. “We each have about 2mg of copper in our body, without which we could not survive” – another reason to buy this wacky product. If you’re in the business for a new spherical desk decoration made from copper – look no further!
Biggest question: Does double up as a paper weight?
Custom Litographs: Wear the Words You Love
What’s that? Your life would significantly improve if you had the 5th chapter of Oliver Twist written around your torso?
At a glance, this idea may seem slightly strange – but how different is it from the patterns and shapes we often display on our clothing? Custom Litographs is all about taking something that you love and presenting it in a style that means something to you and others. Plus when you’re waiting for a bus you can always whip your scarf off for a good read.
Biggest question: Does this mean I’ll be better at reading people?
