In Japan, they have the solution for everything whether or not you knew you had a problem. Case in point, the ±0 Hot Carpet.
It's a tatami-sized wool-covered electric heating pad you lay on the floor. It keeps your feet warm, or your entire self if you elect to lie on it while enjoying your favorite video game. It comes in black or gray, retaining the natural colors of the woolen layers on top. The rounded corners keep it looking simple and attractive, and the controls are hidden along the edge instead of living on the cord like some big, awful dial on an electric blanket. All for only ¥7,350, or about US$60.
And I want one! My feet are always cold! Slippers make them sweaty and a space heater never seems pointed in the right direction or puts out too much heat all at once. But their products are apparently only available in Japan!
If the Hot Carpet isn't up your alley, consider their 6-slice toaster oven called "Oven Toaster" and the A4 lamp, shaped and designed to look like a stack of plain white copier paper.
The Oven Toaster is, like many (most?) Japanese merchandise, very cute. It's just a little white box, again designed to look like what it's for, a little loaf of bread. The entire front opens up so it's easy to shove things in and pull things out, and the heating elements are on the top and the bottom.
Okay, MOMA or Dynamism or somebody! Get these things into the U.S. now! Now, now, now! Damn you!
