1. RelaxOne massager
What appears like a scary MRI scan is a soothing massage session in reality. The RelaxOne massage chair is equipped with an audio system that ensures a musical environment as soon as the pod is shut. You can also catch some grub while you unwind in the strange-looking machine.

2. Wiggling Umbilical Cord iPhone Charger
Interactive media expert Mio I-zawa brings you an umbilical cord-shaped charger cable. While it may seem funny and weird in appearance, it's a proper cell phone charger all right. Interestingly, when plugged, it looks all set to render your iPhone lifeless but it does the charging job as efficiently as any conventional charger. Considering that the umbilical chord is cut at birth, the inspiration seems rather misplaced and ridiculous but the functionality is not compromised.

3. Wine-glass doorbell
Before you wonder why should wine glasses be suspended mid-air, think again. This is adoorbell that intimates the folks at home about the visitor at the door as a small hammer chimes the crystal wine glasses as soon as the visitor presses the bell. That's called innovation at the door!

4. USB shoe dryer
Don't they look like toy dogs attached to cords — is that meant to amuse a child? Not quite - this is the Japanese way of shoe drying. Strange as it may appear, this household product makes perfect sense through its utility.

5. A speaking table
Does that look like a ultra-modern coffee table? Well, it's much more than that. The 'Acoustable' has a TEAC system underneath the hood that can blares a 360 degrees sound when you connect audio gadgets via USB or Wi-Fi. Now, if anyone tries to doze off with feet up for extra comfort, the surround sound would be just right to end the slumber.

6. Espresso by hand
Now don't try this one as a bike pump just because it looks like one. This is a handheldespresso maker that can push hot water with 16psi pressure through an espresso coffee pod. And you can use it indoors as well as outdoors. Now enjoy a hot cuppa of latte any time you wish.

7. Surveillance 100 lamp
The Surveillance 100 is not for surveillance as the name suggests. This well designed lamp only imitates the look and appearance of a surveillance camera. One can relax under its bright light without worrying about being 'watched' from some remote corner. But it might just keep errant guests sober in their behaviour by posing as a watchdog camera.

8. The smokey Smoking Gun
Don't ever try to strip paint your car with that gun. Take it to your kitchen for it's a handheld food smoker that lends a smokey taste to your food by burning flavored wood chips. So, now your butter, salads, oysters and cocktails can be tangier than ever before.

9. Robotic litter box
This is a self-cleaning robot litter box available in beige, black, or gray colors to help you with your cat's cleanliness regime. After your pet is through with its natural business, it automatically sifts the waste into a hidden drawer while leaving only the remaining clean litter. The drawer is lined with a regular kitchen garbage bag for hassle-free removal. .

10. Lego-brick radiator
On the outside, this design resembles a child-friendly, colourful Lego Brick but inside lies a heating radiator comprising copper pipes and aluminum plates. Not a great idea if you have got kids at home for they may be allured by the familiar brick design. You know what catastrophe you would invite lest that happens. The inspiration behind the design and the utility of the product are completely opposed to each other.
