What floor, please?
Gaggenau’s new lift oven gives a whole new meaning to whipping something up for dinner. The BL 253 lift oven has an automatic lifting base that makes loading and unloading your favorite dishes a snap. With a glass ceramic base, the oven can be lowered directly to the countertop and then raised. You can bake your favorite homemade pizza directly on the base without fussing with a pan. Not only does it minimize the amount of preparation space you need, the lift oven also eliminates the need for an aloe plant, because you won’t get burned taking dishes out of the oven.

Fashionable filing
Even the tidiest neat freak can become a victim of magazine clutter. These slick periodicals can become stacks reminiscent of Charlotte’s skyline. The Magtable from Umbra can help. Designed by Satina Turner, this solid wood coffee table doubles as a magazine rack. Not only does it eliminate clutter, it also makes it easier to see what magazines you actually have.

Chill out
Every couple has argued about being too cold or too hot while they’re trying to go to sleep. Mooresville-based T2 International hopes to put an end to this eternal squabble with the ChiliPad. By using thermoelectric technology, one side of the Pad can be cool (as low as 65 degrees), while the other side can be warm (as hot as 105 degrees). With dual wireless remote control units, everyone will be happy and rested when the morning comes.
