Nothing screams “cool” like the Nooka rubber and plastic Zub-20 Zot watches. Coming in six different colors (because who doesn’t want an orange rubber watch?) the Nooka watches display hours as a progression of 12 dots while the minutes flow along the horizontal line below. The date and seconds — because the company ran out of unique ways to show numbers — are shown in a generic digital window.
The watch features a 20mm-wide band and is waterproof for up to 90 feet in salt water. It’s available now in Black, White, Red, Orange, Yellow and Blue and will set you back $125 dollars while simultaneously destroying your sex life. [Nooka via Plastic Bamboo]
Behind the Wall is a two-sided couch with a stretchy membrane dividing those on each side. I’m not sure how practical it is, but it sure looks like fun. People sitting on the opposite side form a bulge in the membrane, meaning that people can interact through the furniture. There’s bound to be a lot of fun games you could play with this, like guess the body part.

Oh man, I wish you didn’t look so happy. It’s not that I want you to be sad, it’s just that you look so ugly when you smile. Your smile, frankly, sucks. Fortunately, it’s a solvable problem. Simply stick this piece of rubber in your mouth that forces you to smile, and in a matter of days you’re sure to have a smile that won’t be so revolting to those around you. It’s the Beauty Smile Trainer, yet another device that could only come out of Japan. Thanks again, Japan! [TokyoMango]
