Some pretty cool stuff in there, although for me, good design is a design for functionality, not pure ascetics.

Warning: Pedant alert.

Aesthetic relates to the love of beauty.

Ascetic refers to self denial or austerity. Not really applicable to this situation.

That said, I'd totally rock that coffee table and/or that flatware set.

The scales and corkscrew would fit in at my house perfectly.

I guess they are educated enough to not attempt anything electrical using a Lucas wire harness, switch or relay of any variety

I stand corrected. This is what I get for trusting Firefox's spell checker.

It won't catch it when your incorrect spelling is actually another word - the main reason why a lot of us should avoid using the word "public" in business correspondence.
