Remember a few months ago when I wrote about that really nice Rubik's cube from Zontik Games? A couple of people asked me where to buy one. Until now, you couldn't. Zontik's website officially launched Monday, just in time for the holiday season. You know what else? I've got a discount for you after the jump.

Scrabble Benches

Even though these are really a custom piece and there is no pricing information, we absolutely love these Scrabble Benches from designer Stephen Reed. They are located in the employee break room at the London branch of Bloomberg financial services. The screen-printed pillows have all the classic scrabble letters, so employees can spell out messages or leave notes. It seems like it would be a lot of fun to have these at home, where you could leave little notes for your spouse in the morning or get everyone involved in a game at a party.
