Star Trek Pinball Machine Coffee Table

It started life as a legit Star Trek pinball machine built and sold by Data East back in 1991, but over the course of some 390 hours it was transformed into the beautifully-detailed coffee table that looks like a miniature shuttle craft landed in your living room. There’s even a secret pull-out compartment revealing a set of glowing dilithium crystals, and the pinball game itself is still fully playable, for those times when you can’t find a Star Trek rerun to watch. As for pricing, it’s one of those “if you have to ask you probably can’t afford it” type of collectibles, but you’re looking at around $15,000.

Would you work horizontally?

The Altwork Station, a fully-reclining chair, desk and screen combination has been made available for pre-order at a princely $3,900 (£2,550), ahead of an expected full price of $5,900 (£3,850).
The company behind it, Californian start-up Altwork, says it is aiming the station at “high intensity” computer users, and says it has spent five years building the device. The station has a built in curved monitor, but has a magnetic desk that allows peripherals to remain attached even when it is vertical.
 The backlash against sitting down for hours on end has led to standing desks popping up in offices around the world, although a recent study suggested that this is no better for you than standing up. Altwork says that though studies are unclear, most experts agree that sitting for extended periods is not healthy, and that workers should change position throughout the day. A control panel on the desk’s side allows users to move parts of the chair into different positions, in order to switch throughout the day.
